Many a wounded GI was grateful for the little ambulance airplane that got them out of harm's way during WWII and Korea. The Stinson L5 Sentinel came in two versions, the observer and ambulance versions. It was used under fire as a forward observation platform with aerial photo capability, personnel transportation, ambulance and about every other use that an aerial "Jeep" would be useful for. It was "STOL" airplane that utilized fields, roads and other "bush" areas for takeoffs and landings.

Restoration of a 1943 Howard DGA 15 Jobmaster, from the ground up.
We completed a ground up restoration of the 1929 Bellanca Pacemaker in 2016. We put it on wheels to get all the bugs out, but the plane was to put it on floats. We flew it to our first Oshkosh Airventure Fly-in that summer and had a blast. That winter we converted it to Floats and by the summer of 2017 we were off to deliver it to the Artic Circle, to it's owner in Norman Wells, Northwest Territories. John Pike wrote a small book about our adventures. (LINK coming soon)
