Moving around to the other side of the hangar, we see another valuable artifact, which may someday provide the basis for a working airplane: the fuselage of a Cessna AW!! I didn't really know how big this plane was!!


     



As promised, the office of the Cadet. Not sure what the purpose of the "Mixture/Gear" stickers is...







And here's that Link again...this is an old-school instrument sim; no exterior view of any kind once that lid is shut.





How about this LeRhone- immaculate!! Wow!! These guys have an old replica Fokker triplane fuselage that they hope to restore, and they plan to hang this on it.
     



And this OX-5 will power that beautiful Jenny once she's completed...note the little oild doors on the rocker arm pivots: although a very nice engine for its time, after 2 hours of flight the pilot would have to land and oil these points, or all hell would break loose. Not really a problem, because most Jenny flights were-and still are- brief.
     

Thanks for joining me on this little trip into the past... expect more photos this year when I revisit 8N1 to see the planes flying and maybe take a ride in the Bird!!

Yipes, not for the claustrophobic then.

Awesome series Sean!!

 Thank you for sharing!!!

Maybe the mixture and gear stickers were to remind pilots from technologically lesser kites?

Thanks for the tour Sean...wonderful

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
