Warbird Information Exchange

I'm not sure if it's still in this condition, if it is then it definitely needs some TLC.

Pilot: "Flap switch works hard in down position."
Mechanic: "Flap switch checked OK. Pilot needs more P.T." - Flight report, TB-17G 42-102875 (Hobbs AAF)

101st TFS MA ANG 07Apr61 (102nd TFW Phalsbourg AB as part of 'Stair Step' 01Nov61-31Jul62), 102nd TFGp Logan 01Jan63, 104th FIS MD ANG circa .64

The MD ANG was giving away a lot of Hs at the time.
One was flown to Spokane, stripped of its engine and interior (the engine ended up at the community college aviation shop) and placed on display at a State School for developmentally disabled children as a playground piece.

Later, it was rescued by the Match (or was it Castle?) Museum.

I was at the Fairchild open house right after it arrived, and it looked pretty neat in SEA camouflage.
