This plane is gorgeous! Be the envy of the airport with this finely produced Jenny replica. Built in 2000 by former WWII pilot, mechanic, and A&P-IA Bruce Benton, this plane is sure to turn heads. It is painted in olive drab Army Signal Corps paint scheme with a like-new wooden Tennessee Propeller prop, and no detail was left out! All logbooks since original build are included with this aircraft, as well as the original Early Bird manual and a few parts manuals. I am the third owner of this aircraft, did some minor repairs to it, but find myself with not enough time to really dive into the project (I"m also not an A&P and the engine needs a little work)... my loss is your gain!
