Every now and then an aircraft builder will come out with one Aircraft that strikes all the aesthetic cords, the Ryan ST is that machine

This plane was once owned by my Uncle Ev Cassagneres. I remember it as a child…good memories. It looks beautiful!

The aircraft is actually more impressive in person.

Looks fast sitting on the ground! What a beautiful airplane and restoration. Thanks for the video!

@DeweyDavenport To see your Travel Air in person would be even more impressive. What a wingspan! 5 people onboard with only 220hp? Ever thought of STC for 300hp jacobs? Sure runs great in the two Cessna195's I've been in.

Very fine. My favorite bird. Working on my 2nd model at 1/4 scale. First one is a 1/6th scale…sounds like They fly the same as full size!

On my list in Third place as The Most Beautiful Airplane Ever Built, only behind the Beechcraft Staggerwing and the Spartan Executive. Glorious airplane!!! Welcome back Dewey!!! Missed ya man.

Great video

I have a Ryan PT22 but the STA is one of the most beautiful planes built. 👍🏻😁

Thanks so much Maxime. Wish I had more time to edit and share with you all.

I saw one in Santa Paula many years ago. Turned out she'd been "restored" from a few remaining bulkheads and a data plate. Still a beautiful aircraft though.

Ain't she sweet! 👍

Great walk- around video Dewey. What is the plate riveted to the inside of the fuselage just aft of the throttle quadrant?

I always thought the Manasco Powered ST's where designated as STM?

I'd imagine it must great with the 150hp engine instead.

This plane epitomizes "ramp appeal"! I don't know if planes are permitted to be "sexy"; if they are, this plane is just that. . .

I totally agree

I remember seeing similar aircraft at the Upland, CA (Cable) airport in years past.... Maybe they were replicas...? or slightly different model?

Too pretty to fly… 👍🏻
