VINTAGE AIRPLANE 9 WHAT OUR. MEMBERS ARE RESTORIl'IG by Norm Petersen

Off to a new home, the ZiebelllBrennand Cessna 175 Pictured as it leaves the Vette Seaplane Base at Oshkosh for the last time is Cessna 175, N6577E, SIN 56077, mounted on a set of Aqua 2400 floats. A well-known resident at the seaplane base for nearly twenty years, the 175 was converted to a 180 Lycoming with a constant-speed prop and mounted on 2400 Aqua floats by Aly Ziebell and Bill Brennand of Oshkosh. Since being certified on floats, the pretty four-placer has made yearly fishing trips into Canada with excellent results and stories that know no end! In addition, the Cessna has provided countless seaplane rides over the many years and introduced many newcomers to the wonderful world of seaplanes. Aly Ziebell, who has been awarded several really nice plaques for outstanding service to the seaplane fly-ins, will now concentrate on getting his Piper 1-4 Cub Coupe going on Edo 1320 floats. Bill Brennand, the originator of the Vette (formerly Brennand) Seaplane Base and a recipient of a like number of award plaques, will continue with the Stinson Trimotor and other aviation interests. The new home for the Cessna 175 on floats will be Lake Norman, North Carolina, where George Wilson and crew will be enjoying seaplane flying at its very best.

Aly Ziebell, on the left, shakes hands with new owner, George Wilson, in the center. On the right is Reed Wilson, George's cousin, who helped fly the seaplane back to North Carolina.

Curt Drumm's Stearman N2S-3 This peaceful evening photo of a 1943 Navy N2S-3 Stear­ man, NI066N, SIN 75-5293, was sent in by owner, Curt Drumm (EAA 374143) of Manitowoc, WI, who purchased the Stearman from longtime EAAer and A /C judge, Bill Johnson (EAA 242041, A /C 9211) of Antigo, WI. Restored some years ago (1987) by Chuck Andreas of Neenah, WI, the pretty "AN yel­ low" biplane was featured on the EAA Merchandise Calendar with Bill Johnson and his lovely daughter on board. The Stearman then proceeded to win at Galesburg, IL; Blakesburg, lA, and Oshkosh '87. At Oshkosh '97, old NI066N ran off with the World War II Outstanding Open Cockpit Biplane Award for its surprised owner, Curt Drumm! This is Curt's very first "taildragger" airplane and he has done a masterful job of learning to fly the Stearman and keep it on the runway. The engine is a Lycoming R-680 of225 hp pulling a McCauley propeller and the entire airplane is finished in an authen­ tic Navy N2S-3 paint scheme. It is easy to see from the photo that the Stearman receives plenty ofTLC.

(Below) Here's a couple that will warm your hearts whenever you see them. Jerry and Lucy Coigny of Miramonte, CA have owned this same Beechcraft Bonanza most of their married lives, and you'd be hard pressed to find a more original Classic airplane that has never been restored! Honeymooners since they eloped in July, 1939 while they both worked for Luscombe. Jerry was on the road, and Lucy was Don Luscombe's sec· retary. This past summer they celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary.

(Above) Just pulling the landing gear up during takeoff is this nicely customized Grumman H1J.16 "Albatross," N44RD, SIN 137932, flown to Oshkosh by veteran seaplane pilot, Reid Dennis (EAA 319374, AIC 21597) of Woodside, CA. Reid's Grumman Mallard, N2945, which he has previously flown to Oshkosh, is painted in a similar grey and blue paint scheme.

(Below) Jerry Cox and Scott Rose of Matoon, IL have been enjoying the cross-country capabilites of their Luscombe 8F. They had it at Sun 'n Fun earlier this year, and then were up at the EAA Convention in Oshkosh this summer. In the middle of all that, they managed to host the Luscombe Fly-ln in Mattoon! We'll have a report from Jerry in an upcoming issue of Vintage Airplane.

(Above) Moving down the taxiway at EAA Oshkosh '97 is the award­ winning Beechcraft El.8S, N57PF, SIN BA-335, flown by Pat Foley (EAA 413426) of Middletown, DE. In the Contemporary Class, this beautiful nosewheel conversion of the Beech 18, ran off with the Custom Multi·Englne Award for it's owner, Summit Aviation, Middleton, DE. Congratulations to Pat Foley and his busy crew at Summit Aviation. (Below) Taxiing by at EAA Oshkosh '97 is this sharp looking Waco UPF-7, NC32084, SIN 5716, flown by longtime EAAer, Loel Crawford (EAA 51333, AIC 13817) of La Follette, TN. Complete with engine cowling, wheelpants and a white paint scheme with red and black trim, the 1941 Waco ran off with the Customized Aircraft Champion Award in the Antique class. Congratulations, Loell This UPF-7 came off the line right behind Dick Wagner's UPF-7 , NC32083, SIN 5715.
