Herb Clark
Weirsdale, Florida

Commercial pilot,
Aircraft owner and builder.

Herb was a businessman looking for a new adventure when he purchased an airport and a Stearman project. That was 1989.

Fast forward to 2001. The Stearman was awarded Grand Champion Antique at Sun-'n-Fun fly in Lakeland Fl. For Herb it was a long but rewarding journey. Along the way he learned to meld his 25 years of auto /truck restoration experience to his new aviation adventure.

Through new friends and educational courses he developed the skills and patience needed to complete projects at the highest quality levels. Moving to Florida in 1995, he arrived at Hobby Hill , a private, resident owned airport, where he lives and works.

Along the way Herb met Bill Thomas, a well regarded Pitts Driver. He became intrigued with Bill's S2B and a checkout soon followed. That flight led to Bill's aerobatic course and a continuing admiration for the Pitts. Herb soon acquired his own Pitts, S -2A. Hundreds of hours later the thrill of the Pitts Special is still there.
