At Anoka County Airport (KANE) in Blaine, MN, there are a lot of great airplanes from pristine J-3 Cubs & Super Cubs to Howard 500s, Sawbones Sea Fury Reno Racer & an F-82 restoration. Another plane that is taking shape now is a Javron PA-11 being built by a SC.org member, Dan Carroll. Dan was a Baron Driver before he saw the light and decided to return to the taildragger ranks. He is quite the craftsman as the pictures bare out. Dan was so serious about getting this PA-11 right that he went to school and got his A&P ticket.
Notwithstanding that he is an old Irishman full of blarney up to his eyebrows, he has the passion and persistency to get this build right. Some parts he points out have been made 3 or 4 times before they met his critical eye as being worthy of staying on the plane. Here are a few pictures I took today that Dan has permitted me to post here. He is a member so might also add some dialog later. Also, Dan has a hangar to die for.
