One of the most beautiful of the pre-war designs in my opinion. Look forward to seeing this one airborne.

CW-19R ex-Bolivian Air Force recovered from a plinth in Bolivia by Debbie Boostrom of Dixie Air Parts, San Antonio. The aircraft was flown to the USA by BAF C-130 and restored in Coleman, Texas....

Is this the one that had a big write-up in Sport Aviation 10 or 15 years ago?

If only we knew someone who had the interest and skill to fabricate old Curtiss airplanes...

I knew of the one that was burnt out in the cockpit but had no idea of the other one on the slab of concrete. :supz:

Different aircraft, that was the Montivideo SNC-1, well on the way back.

The other CW-19 is now indoors.

Full stories on both these aircraft and a little known SNC-1 in the next CW ;-)
