Oshkosh grand champion

Dillon Barron , N1899C got the classic grand champion award at Oshkosh. Great guy and a great restoration . Saw the plane at the convention in St. Louis...it is a beaut !

Yes, very nice plane! It was the Peoples Choice winner at this years convention.

Very nice does not begin to describe Dillon's plane or his efforts to make it as it is. This award and those we bestowed upon him at convention are well deserved.

There are but a hand full of 170s currently in the class of Dillon's plane. When I saw it at St. Louis I felt like it might be the closest 170 example I've ever seen to how they left the factory. The detail of the restoration is staggering.

Anyone have a picture? I would love to see it and hear some details on the restoration effort!

Congratulations Dillon!!

Words can't describe how honored I am to have received the grand prize at Oshkosh this year! Most importantly, I enjoy meeting new friends and sharing a bit of history!

Last year I spoke briefly to Dillon on his Silver win. I was very impressed with him. He seemed very humble. His parents should be very proud. Congratulations.
