Me too - both those made me gasp, especially the sight of how complete the 801 appeared! Great videos...what an amazing place to work.

Plus there is an effort underway in Russia right now to restore a Tu-2 to fly.

Doesn't the War Eagles Air Museum also have a few Tu-2s in storage? (Not including the example on display)

Who is Ray? Don’t just post one word and expect us all to get it.

I'm guessing he's talking about Ray Anderson, from Anderson Airmotive. Ray used to have his operation in California.


Thank you. - ah yes know who that is, just couldn’t remember with no other clues. Pi
