I have owned two Bo 208 Junior and a Bo209 Monsun which I flew for 30+years. These fotos are of werk nr 546 which I have restored and recreated BB905, one of the "Biafra Babies". Research of Biafran history took several years in order to permit a precise re-creation of the BB905 project. The fotos were taken at my home on the Buckingham Army Air Field, a historic airport, near Fort Myers, Florida. The motor is the new TMX Continental IO-240 B2 fuel injected 125 hp and carries a custom Sensenich propeller. Flight testing will begin shortly, following completion of the documents required by our FAA. I plan to display the Junior at several airshows and fly-ins. If you would like more information, I will be happy to provide it. Donald D Black N905BB Buckingham Army Air Field
