In Memory.

It is with great sadness that we relate the passing of Jon W. Aldrich, the main inspiration and instigator of this website.

Those of you who knew Old Jon will be glad that his memory will live on and we will continue to sell neat old airplane stuff on this website.

Jon is now one of those who have "gone West."

So, who's running the show now?

I'm Jon's only son, Curtiss Ried Aldrich -- and yes, I was named after a famous propeller of the '30s.

I took a liking to airplanes as early as I can remember. One of my chores was to clean the belly of our Waco UPF-7, as I was the right height to stand under the fuselage and wipe it with a rag.

In Jon's memory, office hours will remain sporadic, but we promise to ship your orders asap.
