To the left a Canadian AVRO CF-100, to the right...a Lockheed Lodestar painted in RAF colors...in the background, the tail of a AVRO Vulcan.

It's one of those times when things all come together at once. They are:
T-37 - Out late last month (a two year project).
S-2 - Out in a couple weeks. Been a three year project.
EA-6B - Out in a couple weeks. Just needed de-mil / prep. / no major restoration.
The SAAB also just needed a de-mil / prep with no major restoration.
Our goal was to get them all out before our next open cockpit day, which will be May 24, 2015. Looks like we made it!

Actually, the Lodestar is wearing South African colors (that's where it came from) but it is remarkably similar to RAF. I always thought RAF as well until I learned differently. The SAAB is wearing Danish markings, as that's where it came from.
