Feature Robin s/n 393 - July 2011


Al Holloway, Quincy, CA recently sent me some nice photos of his Curtiss Robin B rebuild project. Al, founder of Holloway Engineering, is a noted restorer of old airplanes and even more recognized for his engine overhaul expertise. These photos illustrate the outstanding work he is doing to preserve his OX-5 powered Robin s/n 393. This Robin was originally registered as NC45H, but is currently showing on the FAA registry as NC127H. I asked Al to help me out with a writeup and he promised to do so. But that was over a month ago. I am sure he is busy working on the Robin. And besides, these photos say all that needs to be said about Al's beautiful craftsmanship.
