There's hardly been an Osowski born in the past 80 years who hasn't learned to fly or been involved in the aviation industry. Edwin Osowski bought the '46 Cessna 140 in 1946, the same year he became the first manager of the Grafton airport and launched Grafton Aero Service.
So, it only seemed natural for Leon and his son, Wes, to find the old airplane and reclaim it for the family.
Leon and Wes are flying the rare old bird back to Alaska, where they live and where Wes operates Servant Air Inc., based on Kodiak Island. The trip, which started Tuesday, is expected to take three days with about 30 hours of flying time.

Seems as though there are several posts a year on the various flying boards from folks trying to track down dad's or granddad's (or grandma's) old plane for just this reason.

Now that is a neat story!

Someday, I'd sure like to track down NC26256, my great-grandfather's Stinson.
