About 1968 or so
Pup, Triplane, SPAD, Jenny
Fokker D.VII being reassembled after rebuild, after a hangar collapsed on it from snow load. Upper wing is one piece so could be manhandled into place in this attitude
Original SPAD XIII now at the Air Force Museum
Mishap to Waco 9 "Miss Pittsburgh", which now hangs in the Pittsburgh Airport terminal
Original 1912 Thomas Pusher, still in the collection, but not flown since the late '60s
Thomas Pusher again. Cole flew this from Rhinebeck to NYC, Laguardia I think, to appear on "What's My Line"

Cool photos Andrew back when that was a neat place and everyone got along. Sad that isn't the story today.
