Idaho Airplanes

Join me as I share my aircraft restoration projects and flying adventures in Idaho.

1962 Piper Comanche

I purchased this airplane in 2015 with the goal of a complete gut job. It's now a new airplane.

1953 Piper Pacer

I purchased this airplane after an unfortunate ground loop. It looked like an easy repair.

1990 Hatz CB-1

This Hatz is just for chasing elk and following the rivers in the Treasure Valley.
