Francis Butler's Collection

Francis Butler's Collection

Across the apron, walking under the shadow of “Duggy” the DC3 sporting it’s bright yellow paint job done in Winnipeg, we arrived at Francis Butler’s hangar. Francis Butler's collection includes a wide array of award-winning aircraft. Francis showed us his only flying Techno Avia 55M (looks similar to a YAK) in the world! Like the YAK, its’ entire system is pneumatic. Francis finds the Russian technology simple and straight forward. He was checked out by a Russian pilot who comes over to the USA periodically to provide aerobatic training for the growing number of YAK owners. “The best instructor I ever had.”
