Lockheed Lodestar N21G is one of the seven Lockheed Lodestars that are still in flying condition. It is however the only one left, of the 625 Lodestars produced, that is still in original condition without modifications made. N21G is coming out of a 10 year restoration with everything either overhauled or zero time. The plane was originally built for the United States Army Air Force as a C-60 transport in December of 1942. It was configured to be a glider tug, with a large attachment under the tail cone. However, there is no evidence in the military records of it being used for this purpose. It flew only 600 hours during WWII, it was moved between Air Force bases as a means of transportation. At the end of the war in 1946 it was sold to Goodyear Corporation and civilianized as an executive airplane where it spent many years transporting company executives. It was sold by Goodyear in the late 60s and went through a series of private owners. The Lodestar last flew in 1984. The current owner purchased this rather large project and had it transported to the State of Washington where it has been under restoration for the last ten years. Airframe overhauled. All systems overhauled. New electrical and avionics. Zero time engine and props. Over $800k spent on the restoration.
