I will try to keep up this blog and post regularly. Any comments and hints are welcome, this is after all my first attempt to restore a vintage aircraft. Wish me luck... :-)
This blog documents my first attempt to restore a vintage aircraft back to it´s original US Army style. This bird was built in Lock Haven (PA) with Piper s/n 13157. Delivered to Army Ground Forces in France late December 1944 (mil. s/n is 45-4417). Still trying to find in which division it served, but this bird probably served the allies on their march towards- and into Germany. Rolled out in June 2015 with maiden flight shortly after.

And here she is...
Finally I´m "hooked" on to my first aircraft restoration project: a 1944 Piper L4-J s/n 13157 (USAAF serial 45-4417). Many thanks to the previous owner Eidar for driving more than 1300 km to deliver this aircraft to me. I took it the last 100 km on the road down to Kjeller (ENKJ) just north of Oslo, Norway.
