Idaho Airplanes
Join me as I share my aircraft restoration projects and flying adventures in Idaho.
New Projects
As a Comanche owner/operator I have always regretted not getting Comanche Gear’s front baffle repair hand-made by the late Matt Kurke. So I finally decided to develop the capability and provide owners with an affordable repair option. Click the link in the menu to read more.
1961 Piper Colt in need of some love
I learned to fly in a Piper Colt and my first airplane was a Colt. I could not let this hangar queen rot so I brought it home to get it airworthy and sell to someone who needs a cheap air knocker. Check out the Aircraft Sales page for more updates.

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 chukar in the Owyhee foothills and following the rivers in the Treasure Valley.
