I remember that a couple weeks ago, someone said they would like to see some shots of the Guardian my family owns. Here are some.

Nice. Is she airworthy? I've seen photos of her outside before, but never in the air.

She's close to airworthy. She needs a new carburetor and some of the control surfaces need to be re-skinned, plus some regular maintenance.

This is amazing to hear, i was just reading flight journal the other day and they had a big article on the guardian as it was grummans last true ASW aircraft.  Beautiful bird and i cant wait to see it in the air.  Tell your family thanks for getting this bird to almost flying condition.  Are you guys part of a museum of sorts?
