The space continues to grow with more airplanes. As a side dish they are adding motors from the dinosaur age, with one from the Wright bros…AND cockpits available for sitting, AND flight simulators of several kinds…now I wish I had taken more fotos. North of Hartford CT and south of Springfield MA, near Bradley airport

The engine in the first picture is a Continental 220 if I remember correctly. The boss had a Stearman trainer, his had a Lycoming engine. He bumped the horsepower substantially with higher compression pistons. He has passed, I have no idea what happened to the plane.
