hi all,

Just got back from working a day at Geneseo. Yesterday and today was major work days. Spent today cleaning out the old hanger. Threw out lots of junk and rearanged aircraft and I helped move a couple N3N projects. So I got all good and dirty with N3N's! :D (I like that kinda dirt) Lots of progress has been made. I almost had a bad day when a 1000 pound dumby bomb that we were moving almost fell off the stand and it would have landed on my feet!!! :shock: :shock: Other then that...... :oops: :shock:

Two more "work" days are being planned for next week or the week after I can't remember.

The reason for all the moving of stuff and trashing junk is to make room for a few new aircraft that will be going to the museum. I know of one plane but I am keeping hush hush for now. I will give a hint: it is powered by two R-2800's! :wink: :twisted: And it is a flyer I been told. Thats all the details I will give. Gotta keep the folks suspense built up you know! :P

B-17 "Movie Memphis Belle" received a new paint job a few weeks ago. She looks freakin fantastic and has the correct olive drab too! :wink:

Thats all for today.

Tally ho,
Nathan

There has been talk of them getting the MARC A-26 for years. Now that that is flying I assume that is one of the aircraft. The other I'd love to know!

Any word on the A-20 yet?

And getting, what does that really mean, will it be HAGs, at Geneseo with MARC or on loan?

I know. An A-20 regardless if Geneseo owns it or not, operating out of Genny would have been freakin cool. I don't think I'll ever get to see a A-20 fly! :cry: :cry: :cry: :?
