Flying Repeat

[munzieb]

I did the original Howard 500 plaque for a friend back in 7/17 because he had flown this aircraft many years ago. He invited me to join a FB group dedicated to recip corp aircraft. I posted it on that site an a member said that his Dad (+) had brought it back from Canada for restoration at his shop in FFL and he had also flown it for a few years before they sold it. Made a plaque for him also but added his Dad's company name. I made some mods to the original pattern for easier cutting. Some of the peninsulares were kind of floppy and thin on the nose.

Your love of aircraft really shows strong!!! I'll be excited to see a PBY one day as I doped the wings and sanded them on one here at the airport for Hill Aircraft, now defunct.

Kevin, I had to go to the "Way Back Machine" to find a picture of a PBY I did in 2019. I have been communicating with Harry Hill, the son of Frank Hill of Hill Aircraft. He hangs out at https://www.facebook.com/groups/993902267292120/?ref=group_header on Face book. When I spoke with him recently, he mentioned the PBY they used to operate.
