1929 Curtiss Robin
Curtiss Robin NC9223 was originally powered with a 165 HP Curtiss Challenger motor.
It has been re-powered with a 225 HP Lycoming R-680 which greatly improves performance and reliability.
It was on loan to the Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum and successfully evacuated before the flood of 1993.
It was subsequently dismantled for recover but put into storage. It will now be refinished for permanent display in the museum.
