Description
...all we were doing Sunday afternoon was going to take some pictures of the MiG shown in my last two uploads.
...but before we could turn to the MiG, this beautifully fully restored 1929 Travel Air 6000 begged us to go outside and take its' picture.
...zoom worthy too.
Bill
P.S. Want a little more detail to include pics of how this Travel Air was restored and/or a video of it flying? Click Here.
P.S.S. No this isn't an ad for Pepsi...those cans are just there to catch a few oil drips...:)

Beautifully capture Bill. What a fantastic old aircraft. I can just hear that radial making beautiful music. Can you picture this aircraft travel at an altitude of about 2-300ft following visual landmarks across the country?

Nice shot of that rotary engine Bill. Well done on this.

Cool little plane, I love its shiny prop.. Super captures Bill..

So much to marvel at in the collage, Bill! The circular exhaust tract, the polished blades and wood, the colour-coded drip cans! Clive

Hm... looks familiar - must be the plane I flew in from Frankfurt (Germany) to Boston in 1956. No, just kidding - that was a Constellation, but close enough - both have propellers! ;) Fuselage looks like wood and metal, but the wings look like fabric. Nice montage work, Bill. Good photo job - we get the colors just right. Now, if Pepsi were smart, they'd use that plane in their advertising. Keep up the good work - you seem to be getting better and better at it. :-)

The cans give it a modern look. A lovely collage of this beautiful old timer who still looks to be in great condition.

Cool collage depicting the renovation of the aircraft, Bill, that kind of reminds me of Lindberg's The Spirit of St Louis.

great old plane--and what a creative way to catch those drips!!

Coach built airframes, made by craftsmen.Interesting to think that in the early days, the most impotant people in an aircraft plant were carpenters... Great collage Bill, this may be something to occupy the Civil Division of my plant, I'm sure I must have some blueprints somewhere....

Fantastic collage and restoration project. Cool video. Dana

Absolutely cool thing to stumble across (I love Travel Airs). That's from the era when aircraft manufacturers were trying to make their planes' interiors resemble car interiors, and car makers were trying to make their car interiors look like a plane's ... lol.

What a find....!!!!
