Vintage Airplanes from my past
 

Before starting Musclerodz, I restored antique airplanes and was a licensed A&P/IA (still A&P) doing maintenance. I was going through old floppy discs tranferring old pics to modern storage and ran across some of my old work. Thought some here might enjoy.

Stinson SR-9E I went to South Dakota and ferry home for Australian client.

Years ago, I had the opportunity to fly a Staggerwing at an airshow. It is one of my all time favorites. Wish I had the money to own one.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice pics Mike

That's really cool stuff Mike. Thanks for sharing with us. :thumbsup:

Thanks for sharing Mike. I don't know much about airplanes but I enjoy seeing the old ones.

Good stuff Mike, love seeing the older stuff. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: As an engine builder I especially like the lil engine stand with the 360 on there. :unibrow:
