Justin also has a long history with aviation in the family. Justin loves to try anything and isn’t afraid to make changes, it’s sometimes hard to keep up with what he is up to and what he may be flying.

What Sets Us Apart
It’s all about keeping the Antiques Flying!
Everything we do is built around making our historic aviation past part of our future
Great to see an Antique sitting but greater to see it FLY
We’re here to take care of the beautiful flying machines of the past but also to demonstrate them in flight.
Being part of a generation that doesn’t loose the history
We welcome all to partner with us by their volunteer help, donation of an aircraft, or donations of any size to allow our dream to prosper and expand.
