I attended the Montana Antique Aircraft Association’s annual Three Forks Fly In last weekend, and managed to catch a ride in an early (1928), Cub-like, airplane.....a 1928 Travelair 6000.
Owner and rebuilder Hank Galpin took five of us for a hop around the valley....said it was easier to fly around, than to taxi into his tie downs than to push the beast into the tiedowns.
Missouri River Headwaters:
Copilot was a young lady from Brittany, France....a PhD in Microbiology, currently doing post doctoral research on microorganisms living in the hot pools of Yellowstone. And learning to fly on the side, obviously an overachiever, but a nice young lady named Margo:
Hank took ten years to “rebuild” the plane, which flew out of McCall, ID for many years, then Alaska, where Hank bought the wreck. His goal for the last several years has been to fly at least 100 people per year in this airplane:
A real class act. Would that we had many more like him.
Thanks for the ride, Hank!
