About three years ago. It is essentially complete and from time to time there is talk of getting it back in the air but I guess it will require some $$$ and a bit of time for this to happen.

Seems there are Jeep lovers here too...
Here is a pic of my Willys Jeep parked under a DC-4. I wanted to own a classic from WW2 but could not afford a Warbird ... so the Jeep is as close as I could get.

Good to hear from you, it's been awhile. Sadly, can't see your jeep on here, I'll go look at your G503 album.

There's nothing sweeter than Jeep's & Aircrafts. :) 8)
