Oh, I love me some vintage planes!

I think the red you don't know is a Howard DGA. Not sure though.

Great shots all the way around.

Yes, that's a Howard DGA 15P, N1227, one of several that made their way to AirVenture via my local strip, 3CU.

Yes, I know. I was commenting on the fourth one, actually. I miscounted. Roll Eyes

I then saw that Dave had answered it, and thought, "hey, maybe I should delete that last post so I don't look like an a$s." Roll Eyes

Here's the part where everyone starts throwing marmalade left and right at me...

I have always thought the Staggerwing was just an ugly plane. It looks totally goofy to me, and I fail to see the appeal it has to so many. There must be something there, because so many people seem to like it, but I just don't get it. ???

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I always liked the Staggerwing because it's different. Very advanced for its time. A biplane with retractable gear & it's fast too. Wink

That 'goofy' wing arrangement is very practical if you think about it.

PS. I'd never seen one in the 'flesh' until about 5 years ago. Then I saw two on the same airfield. Bliss. 8)
