When Howard Hughes finally decided he'd raised enough caine and it was okay to die, his Sikorsky S-43 was one of many airplanes that surfaced in out of the way places. Flight Journal ran a story on the airplane and some time in the next several months, we'll have it posted in the Articles section of Airbum.

Jim Younkin is something of a national treasure because of all the craftsmanship and artistry he has brought to restoring and recreating antique airplanes. Here's his Travel Air Mystery Ship replica and a pirep on his Mullicoupe and Mr. Mulligan can be found in the pilot report section.

Not truly an antique, this replica of the first land based airplane to break 300 mph (304mph in 1933), the Modell 44 Wedell-Williams was built by Jim Clevenger, Marion, NC and engineered and designed by your's truly. No speed demons, it took us 15 years to finish the airplane. Cool, huh!?
