Corben Baby Ace

 

Believe it or not, this beautiful little Corben Baby Ace was found in an open shed, complete with roosting chickens, in Albany Oregon. Jerry and Peggy Thuotte located, and rescued it from the chickens back in 1995. They restored it to its present condition between the years of 1996 and 1997. It was then sold to Bob and Bill Juranich of Tacoma, Washington. In 2001, the Juranichs donated the Baby Ace to the Port Townsend Aero Museum, where it is flown regularly by the young pilots in the museum's flight program.
