Detailed Description

AUCTION - The only airworthy of 12 built Boeing YL-15 "Scout". A true showstopper and living museum piece. This Scout won the Golden Wrench at Oshkosh in 2017, the Grand Champion at Oshkosh for Post WWII Warbirds in 2017 and won returning Grand Champion Post WWII in 2018, 2019 and 2021. The attention to detail in this restoration is unparalleled. If you love attention on the ramp, American history, and warbirds this is your bird. 

This Airframe has been a part of the current owner's family for 70 years. He passengered as a child with his father, and after his father's passing, he restored it as he wanted to pilot this unique and beautiful bird. 13 years after the restoration was initiated it was complete, a true labor of love, this award-winning bird is now ready for a new home.

Aircraft is sold with a spare wrecked airframe, 40' trailer of Boeing parts, and Restricted Type Certificate #16
