White 1 Restoration Shop

Work on the main airframe of White 1 is taking place at the White 1 Restoration Shop located at 822 North Hoagland Blvd. Kissimmee, FL.

A major part of the collection is located here, including our extra aircraft components, pilot flight gear, survival gear, and ground equipment.

Tours are available by appointment. Phone/FAX (407) 933-0277)

As can be expected, many of the original parts are either missing or damaged beyond repair and must be reproduced from scratch. Fortunately, the extensive use of factory drawings and original parts for reference allows us to remain faithful to the originals. Some of these parts are shown below. Select parts are available for sale in our Giftshop. We are also searching for many original items on are Parts Needed list.
