After quite a few gremlins to get rid of, the Howard DGA P15 is finally free to roam the skies again! Restoration by Big Sky Stearman. Visit BigSkyStearman.com to learn more.
Beautiful restoration! I considered it a few years ago but couldn't quite pull it off. Glad it got finished and is flying. Congratulations to all and enjoy it
I made my first six or so skydives out of a Howard... c.1976 at Lake. Elsinore CA. They had 3 at the time mostly used for static line & lower free fall student use. DC-3's were used for larger load advanced jumper use. Those were the days... lots of good people & times!
I too made my first 4 jumps in 1975 at Lake Elsinore. I remember the Howards were painted bright yellow. I later made another 95 descents in Hong Kong and Guangzhou.

Looks like it's going fast just sitting there. Sexy aircraft.
Beautiful aircraft! Sure wish I could have heard the engine without the music.
What a beautiful machine and great job of restoration! Congratulations to Big Sky Stearman and to the lucky pilot that will enjoy it! 👍

Gotta put some wheel pants on that baby, finish off the classic Bendix trophy look
Wheel pants were the last item to go on. 🙂
The RV in the background? Missing nose wheel pant.
Hope it has à set of wheel pants in it's future.
It does! 🙂
Is that Hood ?
