Classic Douglas DC-7 Revell Model

Last year we picked up this classic Revell Douglas DC-7 model from a buddy. It was started by someone and our boy and I are continuing the build. If the decals have held up this will be finished with a United Airlines scheme. Looking forward to mounting it on a stand to have a vintage airliner in the collection.

Spartan Executive

Mid America Flight Museum's Executive in Texas

For the 500th post on this blog I want to feature one of my favorite airplanes. The Spartan 7W Executive. Its art deco lines, polished metal and round motor just put it in a class all its own. When biplanes were propionate Spartan rolls this out of the hangar and impresses the aviation industry.

34 production models were built. That is a limited production run in the late 1930s. During World War Two several served in military service and training. In this day and age they are a pampered collectors airplane. 20 airframes survive. To see where they are today... take a look at our web page.

Come along on a tour of the Howard Hughes H-4 Hercules flying boat on display at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon. The press called it the "Spruce Goose" but Hughes disliked that name. Enjoy the video of this HUGE aircraft and be sure to look at how the aircraft on display around it look so small.
