We are proud to announce that there are currently THREE original Calypso hydroplanes.
One was recently restored, one is currently undergoing restoration, and the other will be restored in the near future.



  Hull #C-1, The Calypso 9-E (1957 - 1958), built by John Forbes and Bob Osburn, was found in November of 2011 as will begin undergoing restoration in the near future.

  Hull #C-2, which ran as The Calypso Too E-9 (1959 - 1967), and the Calypso E-291 (1969 - 1970), was found and purchased by Don Kelson in October of 2008 and restoration began soon after.  It was completed in March of 2010 and is currently running the Region 10 Vintage circuit.
