boots blog 001Here’s Boots again!  Checking in with all of my fans.  It’s been a rough year for me.  Had to have three surgeries after having many kidney stones removed.  I was in the Vet hospital for several weeks.  I’ve completely recovered and am now as good as new.

Back at the shop, things are as busy as usual.  The hangar is stacked full.  We are currently working on a Staggerwing, a Stearman, and an Aeronca Champ.

Next up, we will be restoring two Ryan STA’s, an Aeronca Chief wing repair, a Tiger Moth, a Supercub wing repair, two J3 restorations, and Tripacer wings.  Needless to say, we are hiring new people.  We also have several annual inspections due ranging from a Buker to a Fairchild and PA12.

Above are some random photos to show how full the shop is right now.  That is it for right now.  I’ll post more photos as the restorations progress.

As always, wishing you Blue Skies!
