This is the home of the Vintage Aircraft Association in Kingsbury, TX -- 30mi east of San Antonio. One of those old airplanes down there is a 1940 Fairchild 24W-40 that I used to own!

This is a Canadian version of the Curtis Jenny. It is a 1918 Canuck.
This really is a great facility. Lots of wonderful planes!

That is a real OX-5 -- it would be flying but for want of some plumbing for the H2O cooling.
How about that instrumentation? This is a completely beautiful rebuild.
