An amazing way to start an early-September morning!
There is absolutely nothing like the sound of a vintage Pratt & Whitney radial engine coughing, sputtering, and roaring back to life. Yesterday, we successfully completed an engine run on the North American T-6 Texan. She ran smoothly, sounded incredibly angry, and reminded everyone on the ramp what real aviation heritage feels like. Huge thanks…
Keeping History Flying Starts with Thorough Maintenance!
Every great flight begins long before the wheels leave the runway. Our team is hard at work performing an annual inspection on this beautiful T-6, owned by Michael Rutledge.
Hanger filled wingtip to wingtip
You know it’s a good day at GossHawk Unlimited when the hangar is filled wingtip to wingtip with warbirds and vintage aircraft. From the power of the Mustang, to the timeless beauty of the Stearman, the legendary Focke- Wulf Fw 190, and the dependable T-28 & T-6 – every corner of the shop is packed…
Running the Mustang
Last week we ran the North American P-51 Mustang. There’s nothing quite like the sound and craftsmanship behind these iconic machines.

Memories for Oshkosh 2019
In celebration of Oshkosh 2019 I wanted to share some pictures that I took from Oshkosh 2015 that I was unable to post that year. It was the trip of a lifetime, traveling in the only flying Privateer cross country from Casa Grande, Arizona to Oshkosh, Wisconsin. My dad, Dave, and I went with the…
In Memory of Jeff Pino
We had the privilege of having Jeff Pino in our lives for two years. It was much too short, but to call him a friend for a short period of time was better than none. Jeff came to us in February 2014 and asked us to take care of his P-51, from that point on we became quick friends. Jeff’s personality was a good match with the Goss family, and although it was so short we felt like Jeff was a longtime friend.
GossHawk Unlimited is Looking for Sheet Metal Mechanics and A&P Mechanics
GossHawk Unlimited is looking for a sheet metal mechanic. We would like someone with sheet metal experience, experience with hand forming, and able to work with little to no drawings. We are also looking for an A&P mechanic with warbird experience.

Major David E. Goss the Inspiration of GossHawk
Today marks a year that Major David E. Goss passed away. Although David never did work at GossHawk, and is not the creator, he without a doubt is the inspiration of the operation. GossHawk would not be here today if it were not for this incredible man. You are loved and will always be missed.
