Experience the thrill of feeling the air rush by as you take a ride in our beautifully restored 1943 Fairchild PT-19. The Fairchild PT-19 was designed as a replacement for the PT-17 biplane primary trainer. This aircraft offered flight characteristics more similar to the combat aircraft those aspiring pilots would later fly in the war.
This Pt-19, N323CJ was built in 1943 and went through a full 11 year restoration that included an upgrade to the 200HP Ranger engine and an electrical system.
Michal Kuhnert, pilot, is originally from Germany, has logged over 4,000 hours of flight time.
To arrange for a flight or flight training check out Mike's website at http://www.bayaviationonline.com/
Come plan a getaway weekend at the Dragon Run Inn and enjoy a flight over the Chesapeake Bay with Mike.
