PoF has just posted on their Instagram page a few pictures of the unloading of Wrong Way Corrigans Curtiss Robyn.

Glad it wound up there, I'm sure PoF will be a perfect home for it.

I hope they don't mess with it and preserve it as is .

I agree, I hope they limit the work to more preservation than restoration.

So cool to see an older aviation artifact come to light again after all these years. I love that the family had it squirreled away in their garage.

Let us hope that they do not FLY IT!

Awesome news! I have always been worried that this aircraft would be lost. Glad it finally found a home...

Where has the airplane been previously?

According to the most recent POF newsletter, “The long-term plan is to eventually restore the entire airplane to static display condition.”

The accompanying photo in the newsletter shows some torn fabric on the fuselage where the passenger’s seat would be on a stock Curtiss Robin.
