Naw, I'm bout burned out on this one, I think 10micron has enough to make up his mine anyhow.
"Doc" Yockey’s, (not sure how he spelled it) hanger was right across the runway in my back yard. Probably shut it down for a couple of reasons, he wasn’t a kid you know and I think it just wasn’t profitable enough to keep the doors open. There are some shops that are operating on a much larger scale and can handle projects of that size more competitively. There’s a lot more to a Staggerwing than meets the eye. In fact I was just talking to a friend last month who lives at Poplar Grove Airport. He’s finished several large restorations, a Fairchild 24 was the last one, he just got rid of a Staggerwing because it was turning into more of a project than he thought could handle in a reasonable time and the cost to restore one is quite high.
Talk at ya later.
