A place where restoration project-type threads can go to avoid falling off the main page in the WIX hangar. Feel free to start threads on Restoration projects and/or warbird maintenance here. Named in memoriam for Gary Austin, a good friend of the site and known as RetroAviation here. He will be sorely missed.

This week it is pilot check flight time. We are certifying a pilot as a trainer who can then get others certified to fly. After each flight the new pilots are amazed at the job that has been done during restoration. So far only minor problems have cropped up. None that have been flight critical. We begin to put procedures in place for the day we start taking passengers. Restoration crew members have gone from restoration to ground support and maintenance crew. Every day, every taxi, and every flight we gain more expertise in the support of our PBJ.
