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…

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.

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.
GossHawk Unlimited currently has multiple projects under its roof, this includes projects we are currently working on or projects for sale that we would like to restore. For information and pictures of restoration projects GossHawk is working on, see our section on current projects. Read more »
