Lead Restoration Specialist Casey Simmons is restoring a 1917 Curtiss JN-4D Jenny. On his list of things to do: (clockwise) wing fittings and wing wires waiting to be cleaned; the fuselage undergoing preservation/restoration; circled parts are the rear instrument panel original hardware with electrical wires that go to the cockpit lamps; original rear seat with newly fabricated bottom cushion (the original cushion was not present) and cleaned original fuselage turnbuckles with safety wire wraps. Simmons often relies on old photographs as a main source of guidance for his work. 80 AOPA PILOT / December 2022
