 From April of 1931, our Vintage Airplane Ad of the Week announces the NEW Rearwin Junior!  Notice how the takeoff performance is specified: 7 seconds. Easily entered with parachutes! Marion McClure had a Rearwin Junior. My Sister was small enough to ride with him. He told me I was too heavy! I wired them, but so far, no response.
Congratulations to Bob Brandt, owner of our Plane of the Week! What a beauty! Love those 180s! My dad had a 1958 182, he loved it! I know it's probably a different Bob Brandt but that's a name I associate with drag racing. A man named Bob Brandt is in the drag racing hall of fame as a crew chief on Don Prudhomme's funny cars. I had a 54 180 for about 20 years. On wheels, floats and wheel skis. A lot of memories made with that plane. used to sky dive out of that plane ..my dad was the pilot ..he never understood leaving a perfectly good airplane he quit flying jumpers after a jumpers pilot chute open and yanked out the side of the plane Nice Nice How many ground loops?
