Expands Operations To Full Warbird Restorations
Legend Flyers of Everett, WA told ANN this week it is now
offering complete or partial warbird restoration services,
following the company's success with the Me262 Project and continued work on
the Bf-109 Project.
"In the past we have had many, many requests to expand our
restoration service to owner/operators of other Warbird projects,
but we were consumed by the Me262," said Legend Flyers President
Bob Hammer. "Now that we have delivered several flying Me262s, we
have decided to offer our services to help get other Warbird
projects in the air. We are already talking with several museums
and collectors on potential projects, and now want to get the word
out to the rest of the world."
Legend Flyers is offering complete or partial restoration
service on many types of rare military aircraft, including vintage
jets. Sheet metal fabrication, fabric recovering, wing building,
woodwork, refinishing, quality workmanship and more are available
at reasonable rates. In addition, Legend Flyers plans to be
an outsource option for other restoration shops.
"This is an especially important service to help other shops
finish up a few more P-51s for the Gathering of Mustangs," added
Hammer.
One of the most recent projects for Legend Flyers is nearing
completion. The project, a static example of the Messerschmitt 262,
is ready for paint.
"The 262 could be the center piece of any air museum and it has
been reduced in price to make room for more projects," said
Hammer.
