It took me 6 years to do the restoration. I have the pics to prove it. You have no basis for the your statement, "Dan skeeters did not restore these helicopters, my grandfather did he is taking credit for something he did not do and just purchased that way.".........You try and tell me some history of this first C.A.A. Jet 'copter. Did Stanley Hiller ever fly your grandfather up to his (then) private museum in Palo Alto? Has your grandfather ever recieved a letter from the Smithstonian congradulating him on his find?
No,,,,,,I thought not. Dan Skeeters

I restored the YH-32 as shown at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Wa. It took me six years. I still have some interesting photos of the rebuild. Actually I had two Hornets at the time. I have thier serial #'s some where. My latest project, now completed is a 1946 Ercoupe 415. Dan Skeeters
