Taking breaks while painting Ol 927

[Django]

It’s a little late as I have been super busy as of late, but here are some pics of the extraciricular activites running amok throughout the CAF headquarters.

Here is the link to the main album with EVERYTHING. http://www.hotrodhucksters.com/chad/caf/

Here are some highlights...

We spent a couple hours climbing around Fifi. B-29s are amazing and I could have listened to Gary for hours.







Mikey in the driver’s seat...



Way cool that B-29s and ‘35-36 Fords share ashtrays!



Sean’s reaction to getting to sit in the bombadier’s station



My Dad LOVES cats. Skeeter took to him right away.

Ahhhh true story time with Uncle Gary!
Looks like someone is running away with the CATSCAN!!

[Django]

Skeeter was itching to give a helping paw...



Took a few hours to go see the exhibits. Who doesn’t want to be a pilot?







Very cool to see the Helldiver come in. See the link for more pics.



I swear I was NOT making airplane sounds...









Gary explaining the unique landing gear set up.

Great pics, and in that last one, you can really see why they call her a beast

[Django]

Playing in the Shackleton...

This would RULE in a Model A roadster.









The 2 Maulers (RARE!) were very interesting to see...

The poor old Dragon... What a neat plane. Shame.



Windstorm damage. I guess they found it further down the tarmac.



After all the rattlesnake talk, I freaked out taking this pic cause I found a big hole. I actually wanted to see one as I never have before. Dad wouldn’t hear of it.











We were all eyeing these seats for a hot rod, but they will probably find a home in Ol 927, so that is cool.



Inside the C-97



Any guesses what this is? If you can’t figure it out, you will crap when I tell you. With a tree growing through it... Unbelievable.



Welcome to rattlesnake central!



Hellcat...

Thanks for sharing....great pics

Those are all great pictures. I could wander around there for weeks... I just love being around warbirds no matter what condition they are in.

It reminds me of my museum's storage barn. There's quite a few treasures in there and I could spend quite a bit of time in there too.

Cheers,

David

Bamboo Bomber?

[TAdan]

The smiles on your faces in most of those pics says it all...Must've been a blast.

[Jesse C.]

Way cool! Thanks for sharing your pics and expirience.

When ever I get the chance to look around the Aerospace stuff here I take it! Not as cool as what you guys got to see, but its still old plane stuff!

Yeah, those seats would be cool in a traditional rod!

Nope, but it is a bomber.
