Post subject:  ANTIQUE GATHERING
I am hosting a hangar party this weekend Aug. 22-23 (all day Saturday with a party Saturday night) for a bunch of antiquer friends to help initiate our new hangar. This will be at Moraine Airpark (I-73) in Dayton, Ohio. Some of the airplanes that will be there as as follows:
1928 Waco GXE NC4777
1928 Waco GXE NC7122
1928 Waco ASO NC5852
1930 Waco RNF NC663Y
1930 Waco RNF NC129Y
1930 Waco RNF NC863V
1930 Waco KNF NC113Y
1930 Waco CRG NC600Y
1930 Waco INF NC11203
1934 Waco YKC NC14073
1934 Waco UKC NC14010
1934 Waco UMF-3 NC14041
1935 Waco YKC-S NC14620
1937 Waco YKS-7 NC17466
1937 Waco VPF-7 NC17712
1938 Waco AVN-8 NC1937S
1940 Waco UPF-7 NC29300
1942 Waco UPF-7 NC39753
1929 Great Lakes 2T-1A
1931 Stinson Jr.
1938 Fairchild F.24G
Possibly some Stearmans

If your in the Dayton area feel free to stop by and enjoy the airplanes! I guarantee there will be lots of flying, a cookout and some adult beverages. A number of people are camping out. We have 3500 ft paved and useable grass (about 2000 ft) on the south side of the runway.

We love to have "social gatherings" at our hangar. Ever since we moved into the new hangar it appears we are the local hangout. Always have to keep the fridge stocked with adult beverages. We may try to do another gathering this Fall in October.

Here's a few photos from our party. Weather did not cooperate as we had hoped but still had a nice mix of antiques and fed about 100 people.

Hi Andy,

Thank you very much for the great pics! A bunch of beautiful aeroplanes!!!
I especially like the paint scheme of NC863V. How is the fuselage coloring planned? A middle large stripe like on Waco QCF NC11457 or all dark blue?
I'm thursty for more pictures when it's completed!
Kind regards
Hans

The fuselage will be Insignia Blue with a cream stripe. It will then have the Warner engine logo with the Scarab beetle in gold leaf centered on the stripe aft of the rear cockpit with "WARNER" above it and "ENGINES" below it. It will also have a speedring cowl and an original set of the long narrow wheelpants only found on 1931-32 Wacos. The instrument panel is all engine-turned brass with brass bezals around each instrument. It has all original PIONEER instruments that have been overhauled and will have the original throttle/brake set up. Engine is a 145 Warner with a wood prop.

What a superb display, Andy! Really nice. And the red Fairchild didn't look out of place too badly, so I think we should make it a goal to get to your neck of the woods next year -- heck, we got to Pelee Island this year. It's not much farther.

Our Taperwing at Vintage Wings has had the cylinders off this year, and away for overhaul. They're due back anytime now, so I'm really looking forward to "breaking them in" and putting a steady few hours on the airplane this fall.

Here's what I was doing on Sunday. It was an Open House at my Dad's strip/farm. He had all his old cars and tractors out. And I flew the Tiger 10 times, bringing new members into our Foundation. Lots of fun! (once I cut down 2 trees in the fence row).

It's a stock DH 82A, un-modified, still with the original tailskid and no brakes -- interesting on a 40 ft wide strip.
