Our family October 2010 sitting on the Veal Family Farms 1948 IH KB-7
We are a family that is about God first and then work and play hard. The picture to the left shows almost all of my kids and grandkids. Several members of the family from my father to my grandkids have helped with the projects shown on this site and are a part of Wings and Rods. My back ground goes back to being raised in an aviation family. I grew up with my father rebuilding and flying all types of older general aviation aircraft. My dad is the type of father that involves his kids in what he is into, so from a very young age I was at the airport. In my teen years I added old cars to the mix. I finished A/P school at 18 years old and started an Aircraft maintenance and sales business. The last 25 years I have been a full time pilot. Over the years my dad and I have owned and sold dozens of older style aircraft. To date I have over 13,000 flight hours with about 3,000 in tailwheel type aircraft. I hold an A/P/IA, ATP, Glider, Seaplane and CFI/Instrument helicopter ratings.
Other family owned businesses include my dad's company; A&T Aircraft and my son Paul's: Vintage Camper Trailers. We are hoping to finish the 1948 Stinson 108-2 Bobcat in 2016. We love getting to know the people in the vintage "what ever" community. We appreciate old cars, boats, camp trailers, aircraft..........and truly understand the time, money and love it takes to keep them going.
