Chuck Doyle sent photos from a recent wing hanging party on his Travel Air. Chuck had this to say on the project:
Back in 1995 bought NC9958 a 1929 TravelAir 4000 from AAA/APM member Alex Whitmore and have had it at the fly-in many times. After winning the Ridgeview Flyers "Biggest Shitbox award" at the 2004 fly-in thanks to member Nathan Rounds, I decided on 11/18/2004 to disassemble the airplane for a quick recover only! It is now basically a new airplane with the help of a lot of friends and members of AAA/APM members including Jody Doyle, Forrest Lovley, Harman Dickerson, Ed "Sammy" Sampson,Clifford Hatz, Tim and John Verhoeven,Tom Brown and others.
