Sunday at the Hangar

It was a nice day to be here. Sunny and about 80 degrees.

Shoulder Harnesses

Windshield end piece. I ordered them from Univair as I didn’t have any originals.

The emblem from Fritz’s Womack/Murray Sport and from his coveralls. And since most if not all Stinsons seem to have a name, I think Fritz would be appropriate for this one.
