C-47 @ Battleship Memorial Park

Thu Jul 14, 2011 6:27 pm

All,
I know many of you have been to Battleship Memorial
Park and were saddened by the condition of the aircraft
damaged by Katrina in '05. I am pleased to report that
the 'Goon is returning to life. I am optomistic it will be
done by Vets day!!!!

She's looking good. We saw her a year ago, and she appeared to be next in the repair queue.

The museum has made an amazing comeback since Katrina. Hopefully at some point they'll be able to repair the Kingfisher, and give the B-25 some much-needed TLC. Of course, I realize that time an money (mostly money) are the biggest factors.
