OAHS plane fi nds new home in New York
Aft er roaring over the skies
of Cottage Grove for nearly a
decade, the 1935 Stinson SR5E
that was on display at the Or-
egon Aviation Historical Soci-
ety (OAHS) has found a new
home just outside Rochester,
N.Y.
First received by the Oregon
Antique and Classic Aircraft
Club as a full project, mean-
ing a bare bones fuselage and
a ground up restoration, this
aircraft began its journey back
to life in 1994.
Spearheaded by former
OAHS director Rex Hume,
this project was fi rst rebuilt
and reassembled in Williams,
Ore., and then moved to the
Experimental Aviation Asso-
ciation hangar in Grants Pass,
where the engine was installed
and wings were attached.
