- This is the 7th segment of "ThatTheyMightFlyAgain - Part1", a documentary about Classic/Vintage Airplanes and their Owners. It features Dr. Larry Boehme showing his 1943 Stinson Gullwing Biplane Classic.

Very nicely done video, nicely paced narrative. I am a model plane nut obsessed with Reliants, in particular the SR-7 and SR-8 versions. Ironic that Larry mentioned cracking of wheel pants. I cracked one yesterday on my over-weight Pat Tritle 57" wsp Pepsi-Cola Reliant electric powered model.
Glad you liked it. Go HERE for more:

Biplane Classic? Hardly! I remember one of these based at the Ramapo Valley Airport near Spring Valley, New York while I was working in the area. Anyone in the area could tell when it was about to take off because that engine really barked and then you could see the airplane slowly rise up above the trees, and I do mean slowly. It was a beautiful sight.
I grew up in SE Missouri….my father owned a 43 V77 just like yours….he only recovered the wings and horizontal stab….then he sold it in 1979-80 I think….was curious if you might have purchased this V77 from father in Iron Mountain Mo…Dove Field….???
Sorry but you have reached the producer Brian FitzGerald. I haven't seen Dr. Boehme for a number of years but he told me he sold the Stinson quite a while ago. Maybe you can locate him in the Northeast Kansas area.
Never mentioned the company who restored it for him. Gosshawk
