Kelly Mahon sent us these photos and story about a Great Lakes back in flying condition:
This Great Lakes was Betty Skelton's first competitive airplane, then it was later owned by Frank Price, although it is NOT the airplane he took to Germany in 1960. It had a Kinner on it when Betty was flying it and then Frank changed it over to the 165 Warner.
It was bought at auction by Dan Henry of Colville, WA. Dan researched and restored it to the best of their abilities. It has flown twice now for a total of 1 hour, but prior to restoration it had not flown for 44 years. I hope to put some serious time on it if all goes well.
