Behind every aircraft on display is a team of restorers dedicated to uncovering the stories time almost forgot.

For the crew at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, it’s not just about fixing planes — it’s about preserving legacy.

As Casey Simmons describes it, “It’s the archaeology of aviation.” Each project is a careful excavation of history, ensuring that each finished piece is showcased as a moment in history.

The AOPA Sweepstakes Aviat Husky departed Frederick, Maryland, on July 18 en route to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, but unfortunately, it did not make it to the show. Upon landing at its first fuel stop—Carroll County Airport (TSO) in Carrollton, Ohio—the airplane was involved in a ground loop, resulting in damage to its left wing tip and landing gear.

See the how the airplane was safely loaded onto a trailer for transport to an Aviat service center where it will receive a brand new wing and landing gear.

At South Carolina’s Triple Tree Aerodrome, even the grass gets special attention. The popular fly-in destination is using a fully autonomous mower to keep its mile-long grass runway in top shape. The self-driving system saves time, reduces maintenance costs, and keeps the field ready for visiting pilots year-round.
