Restoring a vintage aircraft captures the quintessence of what The Magazine Collector is all about.
Welcome Aircraft Restorers!
If there are magicians of aviation, they are the vintage aircraft restorers. Without these professionals, museums would disappear. Air shows would be boring displays of contemporary mass-produced planes. Young Eagles would be deprived of seeing the grandeur of a real vintage airplane. Ironically, photos in the magazines our collector-members archive and preserve would be as close as anyone would ever come to actually experiencing most vintage planes, were it not for the magic that the restorers perform.
The Magazine Collector website supports aircraft restorers, and would like to be an online showplace where the restoration magicians display their magic. Photos, videos, and text depicting a restoration would reveal the technological, aeronautical, and fabrication expertise that goes into either a static-display or flying machine.
