Absolutely gorgeous aeroplane. Well done to the whole team.

I saw this plane last year at Oshkosh and again at Sun and Fun. It is, I think, one of the most beautiful airplanes ever built and this is an extraordinary example. They did a magnificent job with the restoration, thank you for sharing it with us!

Beautiful! I can't imagine the cost of doing such a project but am happy people can afford to do so and hopefully keep that plane around another 83 years!

My buddy let me go with him to Oshkosh in his Staggerwing. I felt like a king as we taxied right up front to the antique parking.

I hope Tom and his boys are committing this knowledge to paper. They are reverse-engineering an era: it’s valuable work and this is a great service!
