Vintage Airplanes from my past

[Musclerodz]

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.
