On May 25, 2018 a strong advocate of vintage aviation died in an accident in a D-17 Staggerwing outside Albuquerque/Santa Fe, New Mexico.  The cause of the crash is under investigation with a final report yet to be issued.  Pat Napolitano was a unique individual & genuine nice guy.  You can read a lot about him online simply by googling.

My challenge is this.  Is anyone willing to create a repaint of the Mid-Continent Instruments & Avionics Beechcraft Staggerwing D-17S NC79091, nick named "Queenie"  The Alabeo Staggerwing would make a great platform for said repaint & a fitting tribute to an aviation icon that we lost too soon.   If anyone takes on the challenge, please don't forget his fedora...he was seldom without it.  That & his aooooga horn which he sounded upon parking at the apron.

My thanks in advance, Steve
