Sometime we get to fly
I got the opportunity to work on a Beaver, reliving the past and better yet I got to fly it around. There are somethings I will never forget and the sound of a P+W 985 is one of them.
Busy as always from competing our 180J and the 170 projects, recovering the wings on the Champ, annuals, Sportsman install, Horizontal rebuilds…..
Fabricated new inspection panels and doublers with the help of my CNC master and local machine shop…
We had a chance to fly with one of customers from Alaska and take him to a few of our local spots we like go. Had a great time.
we just installed a Sportsman cut on a 180, the install always takes me a little more time than I think it will. We always like to do the best job and for that I think it takes us a little longer but I am just super picky about getting the install perfect and it…
All my planes wen this year to Johnson Creek for the 180/185 fly in, a good time had by all. We had the two lowest horse power planes at the fly in a Cessna 120 and my Champ. Our crew numbered 6, Max, Danny, Aaron, Riley, Wade in his 120 and myself in my 180….
My son and mechanic, Max has moved North to Alaska! His first job as an aviation mechanic not in my hanger, nothing better than Alaska for a budding mechanic. He will be missed but it also means I get to visit……..Otters, Beavers, Cessna’s, anphibs, straight floats…..What more can you ask for…
