If you like Gillespie Field, you'll REALLY like the story behind PEMBERTON & SONS AVIATION, they used to fly outta Gillespie but they're now up near Spokane... that whole family is radical, they restore vintage aircraft and the results are truly amazing. Find them on the web, whether it's Facebook or some other site, their restoration pics & videos will certainly provide you with some insight & entertainment. I flew with Addison Pemberton aboard a 1931 Stearman Sr. Speedmail biplane, same craft which landed on farm roads back in the day and delivered/picked up sacks of mail, aye? Addison is a natural born pilot, best I've ever flown with in my limited biplane experience, and the work the family does in restoring vintage aircraft is quite respectable, just find the pics and you'll see what I mean. CHEERS!!!
