Beautiful airplane. I was the fortunate owner F24r 81361 during the 70s. It was by far the most comfortable airplane I ever owned. The Ranger was upgraded to 200 hp.

Yes they are super comfortable! The Cadillac of the skies!

I am the proud owner of this beautiful bird! I spoke with Jason this morning and he congratulated me on buying a great piece of flying history. I want to thank him and all the guys at the EAA up there in Racine, Gregory @ Southwind Aviation, Howard and Pat @ Sunshine Aircraft and all they had done to get her back in the skies! The plan is to ferry her down to Tampa and hopefully post some videos of that flight here on KZread for everyone to enjoy!

You are a lucky man. As much as I love the old radials I would not trust them for those long cross country flights. The ranger was built for going anywhere and back.

Tampa is waay too wet for this plane... a pity.

Very nice. Congratulations. People have no clue of the time, frustrations, lonely hours in the hangar, money, and patience it takes to do this… Well done…

I wish I could take credit for it. One of our Chapter members restored it and it sat in our museum for many years.

Lovely aircraft!!

It was absolutely stunning in person!

As a child in the 50's I always thought the Fairchild was just a classic, beautiful bird.

Agreed! We were bummed to sell it. We would have loved to keep her.

That has to be the most beautiful 24 I have seen. I love all of them, I don't care if they are powered by the Ranger or the Warner.

It certainly is a beautiful aircraft. We were just talking about it yesterday afternoon. We sure do miss it.

Funny, I just took a picture of this plane today! It's parked two hangars down from my RV-8. Beautiful aircraft!

Keep an eye to the skies, she'll probably be up a few times in the next week or so.

I swear, if somebody were to put the F-24 back into production it would sell.
