Message From the Owner
I purchased this aircraft, which was a collection of parts, from a group of guys in Evergreen, OR in 1982. They had it for a period of time, but never got to work as they intended. With the help of some friends and an aircraft mechanic, I worked to put it all together so my wife and I could fly it. We traveled the Pacific Northwest going to airshows so that others could see it. Everywhere we went, it turned heads. I am 80 years old now and no longer have a medical. Therefore my wife and I decided to sell it. I hope the new owner gets as much enjoyment from this wonderful old bird as we have. ~Glenn
What a fantastic find to locate such a rare bird that looks so good. There were only 100 24G's built in 1937. This is your chance to own a slice of the American Aviation History "pie". Turn heads at airshows or just fly for the fun of it. At this price it will not be available for very long, so contact us right away!
