Fairchild
24W-40 Restoration
This
Fairchild 24W-40 was completely restored by Mike Huffman in 1980
for a client. Featuring a 165-hp Warner Scarab engine, glass roll-up
windows, and roomy cabin, the Fairchild 24 was a classy airplane
flown by movies stars during the 1940s.
In
late 2006, the current owners completed another partial restoration
due to the aircraft having been partially submerged in rising waters
from a 2004 hurricane that hit North Carolina. With a fresh engine
overhaul, new interior, new radios, and new instruments, the aircraft
is now as good as new. They have even created a 3D model of the
airplane for use with Microsoft Flight Simulator. Click here
to see photos of my original restoration of the aircraft and their
re-restoration after the hurricane.
