Here's 2 for you. My Dad and I on his 91st birthday with his pride and joy. He built this basically from a wreck. I thought you being a pilot would get a kick out of it.

Oh man, hh54, she’s gorgeous!!

Love the older biplanes. ❀️
Radial engines really get the juices flowing.
Is that a Hartzell prop?
So proud of your dad... Very cool. 😎. And 91! πŸ‘ŒπŸ»
Hope to make it that far.

How does he like flying her?

Falien(sp?) prop. 125 hp Warner engine. 1929 Lincoln-Page it is 1 of 2 made and there is parts of the 2nd one in this one. They made just 2 trying to get a government contract for trainers but the gov. didn't bite so....legend has it that Lindbergh flew it but the log books don't show where he did. He loved flying it and took to many air shows and brought home a few trophies but he gave up flying about 6-7 years ago.....he says his feet wouldn't do what him brain told them to anymore. Now it's for sale.
