SIKORSKY S-39, NC-50V (s/n 912), represents one of the 21 aircraft of this type built by Igor Sikorsky in 1930-1931. 50V is
the only airworthy example of the type and is the oldest flying Sikorsky in the world today. It was painstakingly restored
by Dick Jackson of Rochester, NH. The project began in the 1960s, with the hull of NC-50V being discovered in the Alaskan
bush. 40,000 hours and nearly four decades later, the S-39 flew again.
The Spirit of Igor was named for the Spirit
of Africa, an S-39 owned by African naturalists Martin and Osa Johnson, and for Igor Sikorsky himself. The giraffe spotting
on the fuselage is authentic to a specific species. It was projected onto the hull in order for the painting to be completed.
See History for more detail about the restoration.
