Be the first kid on your block to get a brand new L-21 Air Heritage Supercub patch. First edition series, donated by our own Pat Hempen. IRON ON, too! (On Cotton) $10. Bob Gbur gets a free one for fixing the seal on the Cub! Call 724-834-2820 or stop in at Air Heritage.
Not an airplane part, but still vital to the mission. Thanks to Mary Ann Werking for this beautiful and tasty lemon merengue pie!!!
A message from C-47 Commander, Dave Messersmith.
“I see my name mentioned way too many times... Returning Luck of the Irish home from Geneseo was a GROUP EFFORT!!! Many AH members donated their time, expertise, and money to get the job done... I especially want to thank John Peterson, Greg Werking, Ed Klacik, and John Lindsay for traveling to NY on several occasions to make this engine change happen... Without volunteers like these, and the rest of the AH crew, we would NEVER be able to keep these birds in the air!!! I also want to thank the National Warplane Museum for their support and hospitality during this trying time...”
Just as in WWII, the work of the ground crews is most often overshadowed, except by the pilots and crews who’s lives depend on them. Thanks to all!
Yes, thanks to everyone involved and all their work!
I want to give all Air Heritage members who not only donate money, time, effort, skills but out their entire heart and soul into keeping all of Air Heritage up and running . You will never be THANKED enough. So my hat is off to all who do the mechanic ,piloting, fund raising thru out the year. THANK YOU ONE AND ALL
Luck of the Irish has returned to Home Base! Dave Messersmith and Pilot John Lindsay flew her back after Ed Campbell, another Air Heritage member flew them up to Genesseo in his own personal plane. They flew at the speed of 160 knots, and logged 1.8 flight hours. We are very happy to have her home, and DAVE is especially happy that this trying time is over and she is back where she belongs. His many, many MANY hours of work have paid off. Next is her Yearly Inspection.
We will be looking for help with a good wash and clean up. Give us a call if you are interested.
Sad I won't see her around the museum tomorrow, but glad that she is home. I remember what it was like while was Whiskey 7 was in Ohio for only a few months, it was torture, lol.
Not gonna lie. She looked good on turf!
I'll miss seeing her in Geneseo, but I'm very happy she's back home where she belongs!
Well Done Dave!
CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to all! Glad she is home and all are safe!
Wish I had known - would have loved to see it come in! Glad to see it is back.

WELCOME HOME !!!
So happy she is home again!!
