I had the great pleasure today, of meeting Tim Savage.
What a busy man he is! But he made a few minutes in order for us to chat, and showed me around his T-6 restoration and mini-assembly line, of which he is evidently and with plenty of reason, very proud.
He has a group of dedicated people working with him on this, and the evidence of their hard work is there to be seen, the quality of the workmanship is obvious, even on those parts of the airplane that, once the skins are on, will never be seen by the human eye.
Tim, it was really nice to finally say hello in person.
Partial view of the main hangar.
Attention to detail, quality of workmanship!
And although security was tight,
I was able to visit the "mini-production line"
with three T-6s being built from the ground up.
The F-104 sits as gate guardian at the Huntington, IN Municipal airport.
This neat Beech twin is, according to Tim, coming in for some TLC
This T-33 has seen better times, and now is basically gone; the Memorial Park, Huntington, IN
This gun turret sits on a lamp-post business, Highway 31, Peru, IN
The Grissom museum was closed, but this T-2 was outside, in their parking lot.
Saludos,
Tulio
