Title: US WW1 collector-pilot Javier Arango killed
Post by: KiwiZac on April 24, 2017, 06:17:41 PM

Awful news. Javier had, I think, the largest collection of Great War aircraft outside of TVAL/Sir Peter. His aircraft have featured in Phil Makanna's GHOSTS Of The Great War Calendars.

A very tragic event indeed, my thoughts are with Javier's family.

A wonderful article on Javier and his collection from four years ago: http://www.airspacemag.com/history-of-flight/mr-arangos-aeroplanes-3409154/
