GossHawk Unlimited

GossHawk Unlimited restores and maintains vintage and warbird aircraft. The shop is in Casa Grande, Arizona. The team says it has worked on all parts of aircraft restoration and upkeep. It has over 41 years of experience, and over 200 years of combined aviation experience across its staff.

The company works on aircraft from many eras. These range from original World War I airplanes and replicas to World War II warbirds and Vietnam era aircraft. Its work covers American and foreign designs. Airframes range from older wood and cloth builds to modern jets. It has restored biplanes, propeller planes and jets.

GossHawk offers full service aircraft maintenance. Its mechanics hold FAA certification with both A and P and IA licenses. These licenses allow them to carry out many inspections and repairs. A recent post describes an annual inspection on a T-6 owned by a customer.

The website names many types the shop has handled. They include the Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-5, Fw 190D-13 and Fw 189. They also include the North American P-51, A-36, T-6, B-25 and BT-13, and the T-28 A, B and C and Fennec. A Fw 190A-8 and an Fw 190F-8 are listed as restoration projects. The F-8 has a gallery with more than 130 new photos of work in progress.

The company shows projects under its roof. Some are jobs it is working on now. Others are projects for sale that it would like to restore. News posts show the hangar filled with warbirds and vintage aircraft. They mention a Mustang, a Stearman, a Focke-Wulf Fw 190, and T-28 and T-6 trainers.

The blog also shares engine runs. In one post the team ran a North American T-6 Texan with its Pratt and Whitney radial engine. A radial engine has its cylinders arranged in a circle. Another post describes running a P-51 Mustang. The team says the sound and craft of these machines are part of aviation heritage.

The website has project galleries, news and a contact page. The team notes it is often busy in the shop, so visitors with questions should allow some time for a reply.
