Glenn has spent the past few days taking the fabric and metal off of the Curtiss-Wright Air Sedan fuselage. He found a huge mouse nest with seven deceased meeses ( :-) ) in it under the floorboard.

Waco Fly-In begins

The 20th annual American Waco Club Fly-In held at Creve Coeur began today. Around 10 Waco's have arrived so far. The club held a dinner held in the office hangar with everyone in great spirits.

Bringing a dinosaur back to life.

Al wanted to see if there was any life left in the old girl before we took her down for restoration so after two days of Glenn's efforts, he started the Wright-440 up yesterday and ran it for a few minutes.

The airplane now goes into his shop and we'll take it down for restoration starting tuesday. The airplane was a former jump plane, I believe up in Washington state. Glenn is going to restore it as close to factory new as he can.
