Warbird Information Exchange

Unfortunately we're not all blessed with the gift of seeing into the future. For us mere mortals it's not until you read the inane bits of a worthy post that you know you've wasted your time. But often once you wade through the inane bits, a thread will get back onto a more interesting track. But again, without the gift of second sight, most of us don't really know where a thread is going so it's always a potential waste of time. I shall be OK though so don't fret too much.

In the meantime if you have any suggestions for developing my psychic abilities then they would be gratefully received.

I appreciate all the positive thoughts and good feelings from everyone. When a person spends so much time working on a project in their life, it stays with them for a lifetime. I remember looking for a dome cover for two years and finally finding it. Or the time I search for five years for a manual. This is all part of it. The joy and frustration on restoring a warbird. Not everyone shares this level of passion and detail. Maybe a little too much sometimes. Either way the end goal is the same,fly it.

That being said, is really like to get it back and into the new shop I will have in the next month or so. A good word with the CAF is Culpepper would sure be appreciated.

All the best,
Patrick

"Although everyone involved is eager to get the project done and see the airplane fly, Sam said it’s easy to form a bond with the airplane and working on such historic aircraft is hard to beat."

Says it all. The reason we restore vintage aircraft in the first place. I need to feel that again and get my 6 in the air.

Patience, Grasshopper!

Lynn,

Intriguing to say the least. There is an undercurrent of secrecy to the whole thing that begs to be revealed.

Best,
Patrick

Glad you found it again! Hope you can re-acquire it ASAP and start building with your children (girls like planes too!). And please post pictures here
