    Nice looking Clipper. Tell us more about it. Was it a project you restored and put together?

    Thanks...its a project. She is not a show plane but very representable. Covered the wings and freshened the fuse. Working to make her airworthy and build TW time. Appears to be mostly original except for the panel. Adding grove brakes and handling all the small things that people let slide.

    The light finally came as that Clipper looked familiar. I believe it belonged to Greg and Patti Johnson from Edgerton, WI. They were at the 1996 Lake Texoma SWPC Convention. At the 97 Smoke Town,PA convention they flew up Hudson River thru New York City and then to the Lock Haven Piper Home coming with us.
