I think I might have been in that barn a few years ago. A friend who lived
in VT took me over to a neighbor's who had a barn like that. Old guy who
collected cars. I remember a Stutz and a Minerva, and a bunch of other
cars. I was only mildly interested, because my old car worship days are
long past. Now if he'd had a nice Stearman or a Stagger-wing Beech, I might
have taken more interest.
Hey Bob,
The Canadian Historical Aircraft Association group I belong to has a
Stearman, and it is used for fly-pasts and to take sight-seeing
flights on a reservation basis, if you are ever up Detroit way.
Located at CYQG in Windsor, Ontario.
And even after some terrible loss in a fire last year, "The Yankee Air
Force" has a bunch of stuff at Willow Run, and there is a fair size
museum in Hamilton, Ontario too, but sorry, no Stagger-Wing.
Take care.
Brian Lawson,
Bothwell, Ontario.
I saw a Stagger-Wing being worked on at Willow Run about 5 yrs. ago.
They didn't lose it, did they? Kalamazoo has a nice collection.
