Jerry - Thanks for the shout out. We have known about this for about 3 months and have been waiting for it to go public so we can talk about it.

Reality is that we were given $50,000 to put to use for the Hangar Restoration of the Corsair will have a home once its finished.

Once we get the steam rolling Myself or Chris will start a thread of the restoration on the hangar and what we will be doing with the space in relation to the Corsair Memorial. We are hoping to develop the Hangar and old terminal into more than some old airplanes sitting on a concrete floor. Long term we hope to tell the history of the Corsair, from the prototype to the 100 War. Our new Artifact Acquisition Manager, Dennis Soltis, has been doing a great job assembling some unique pieces that are not seen in other museums.

I know this gets worn out but if you are interested in donating money, artifacts or materials to the project please PM Warbird Kid or Myself. I currently need a good introduction so someone in charge, at one of the major commercial roofing companies.

Progress is one footstep at a time.

Drew
