The one and only Pasped W-1 Skylark s/n 1. First flight 1935. It was nicely restored and flown circa 2000. It was located by the current owner last year who found it sitting derelict for the past 10 years. After a crew worked to fly it home November 2024, it was agreed upon a recover, repaint and thorough going through was in order. We’re very grateful to play a part in saving this unique and beautiful piece of history

Seeing a job through, doing it well and getting it all signed off is just the recipe for completion. The majority is the magic this team pours into their work every day. Dedicated aircraft owners, our amazing team, help from the vintage aircraft village and “the recipe” are all of what makes it happen.

Our resident UPF-7 recently went though annual inspection and received an early birthday gift. Hand painted goodness by @davecorrellbrushwork ! The airplane was missing a spinner. Not only did we add one, Dave added his touch to it and added a blue stripe to the prop. Fitting to the machine especially with the distressed finish

A five year project. As far as we know this is the first and only amphibious Stinson Gullwing. The floats are serial number 1&2 4200’s by Wipline, also a first, which were supplied with the understanding deck down only, the rest of the rigging and engineering was up to us. Enter @momentumaero whose brilliant and innovative engineering brought this all to fruition. Last and most important, the aircraft owners who believed in our team, exercised great patience and supported us. A couple weeks of R&D flying is scheduled followed by FAA test flights and final certification. Upon success of this we hope to share the aircraft @eaavintage This project was a long haul punctuated by getting through 2020. We’re very proud of our team and grateful for all involved. @super_davephoto photos
