The Estrella Warbird Museum in Paso Robles has a VariEZE they want to move. I have seen it and it is a basic aircraft and would need a full refurbishment.The engine has been removed.If you are interested call Gary Corippo @ 805 238 2090.They are looking to give it away for a contribution to the Museum.The N# is 84EZ.

Go to airliners.net and search for varieze. There is a picture of the airframe on that site!

The aircraft was built by Rowland R Johnson and Carol D Joyce.
Does anyone know them or why they stopped flying the Vari-Eze?
I am interested in shipping it back to the United Kingdom.
We don't have the same outlook on litigation there and I would like to fly the aircraft in Europe.

As janny77 has posted the phone number for Rowland Johnson has been disconnected . I suggest calling Gary Corippo at the Estrella Museum to see if he knows why it was donated.
Gary's cell is 805 712 1222.

The last time I saw the Varieze it was at the Estella Museum on the Paso Robles Airport

Yeah. I donated it to them with the explicit understanding that it not be given to anyone who would fly it.
