Lincoln Sport

Here’s a clip of this aircraft taxiing at Omaka in 2003, it seems to have had a repaint since then.

Ground handling is a doddle – Wally Mcnair “taxying” out to the strip, Dairy Flat – early 80’s

Reading the heading I thought you were talking about the Lincoln-Page (a license-built copy of the well-known Swallow) and later, Lincoln, line of aircraft made in Nebraska in the 20s and early 30s. All were certified types with factory production.

I have learned the current owners intend to put it in the air. There is some minor work to be done and inspections to be carried out.

I dont know how long it will be at the Ashburton museum.

Thanks.

Cool. What’s the history of this aircraft, please?
