Doyle Stearman

We're full steam ahead on the Doyle Stearman and plan to be in the air in about a month. Things are progressing nicely. You will be seeing lots of turquoise in the next couple of weeks! Enjoy. Thank you for stopping by our blog!

We attended the Stearman Fly-In in Galesburg over the weekend with 444 where its owners met us to pick it up. The flight to the fly-in was a great trip and 444 had 8.3 hours on it since restoration when we arrived. What a great fly in. Plenty of flying to do while there and fun events throughout the day. The best for me was watching John Mohr do his routine at the airshow. Heres a couple snap shots of the sea of yellow. Thanks for checking in!

Tick-Tock

The clock is ticking on the countdown to completion for the Stearman. It will be making smoke by Tuesday and then, into the air! We'll be sure to post several detail photos once we get it out into the sun. Thanks for checking is.

N44JP gettin all the trimmings......

Someone had to stay home and work while we were at the show. Roy and team pressed on with N44JP and about have it ready for assembly. All the placards, numbers, and markings were painted on last week and are being completed today. It's looking pretty crisp!

Oshkosh 2011 Complete

What a great time at the big show! It was wonderful to see all our friends again. Five airplanes, four locations and demo flights in the evenings made for a busy time. Lots of work but, we're already excited for next year!! We're also planning on going to Blakesburg, Galesburg and Tullahoma yet this year so, hope to see more great people and airplanes soon! Here are a couple of shots from the trip to, during and from Oshkosh. Thank you to all our friends for making this year at Oshkosh such a wonderful time. Thanks for checking in!
