Two years ago I took my wife to Oshkosh and she fell in love with radial engines and Stinson Gullwings. So much so she suggested we get one. The search was on! We found one that looked beautiful, so we sold the Super Cub. The pictures looked a lot better than the real thing, so we did not get it. Now we were without an anti-gravity machine, we had to find something to fly. We ended up with a C-182 that seemed decent. Although we had an airplane, we continued to look for a Gullwing.
Yesterday our our search ended. We now have a 1942 V-77. This plane was a lend-lease for the British during WWII. I have documents that show it spend its time with the British in India. So the history is interesting.
The best eat thing is when my mother-in-law asked what we were going to do with the 182, my wife said, “We are keeping it.” It doesn’t get any better than that!
