Was this the rigging that was

sold to Johnny Zoppe

Sorry Chic,
When Lee & Henri retired in 1964, they sold the rigging to Al Dobritch, who hired Bill & Trudy Strong to work it.They acquired it from Al a couple years later.

Johnny Zoppe buuilt his own rigging, which in my opinion was best looking rigging of it's kind.

Thanks Bill

Sure hope you're doing better

Where did the Zerbini airplane

rigging come from and who built

it originally (I know Jean Charles

rebuilt it and decorated it)

The Zerbini Rocket was originally built by Walkmir who did a perch act. It was first named "Aida", it was then purchased by Hennnie Luxum & renamed "Celeste". From there it went to Jacquiline, then to Serge, & Stevie Corona, back to Jacquiline, & now to Anistasinis.
