October 07, till June 08, is entirely to long between update! If Carly is the reason you are forgiven. The airplane and baby look beautiful keep up the good work! Congratulation and thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update Chuck,
Looking forward to seeing this one on our CA airshow circuit when finished. Drove by your airport a couple weeks ago, but pretty quiet on the ramp during my Saturday visit.

Sorry for the delay, will try to do updates more often. Just to much going on. I retired in Feb(now I truly have less free time), an 18 month old daughter who prefers to hang out in the hangar and ruffle thru everything, doing a bunch of Warbird annuals(which includes keeping 2 T-28s a T-6G and my C310 airworthy), trying to fly every now and then, plus getting ready to truck in the next project, oh and work on the SNJ regularly. You know, Steve you might be right, I gotta get with it!

Jack you kill me !!
Chuck
ps. Got any pics !!!

[Ryan Keough]

Wow, simply amazing work! Regarding the P'cola stamps on the tailhook, are those original? The entire unit looks so clean that it seems to be NOS, but you mention the tailhook has been used in operations and has the wear from it. Just curious more than anything.

I really like the fact you have the original wire marking machine... talk about authenticity!

plus getting ready to truck in the next project

You can't just say that in passing! So what's the next project, a B-24 No that can't be it, it has to be N.A. made. How about an F-86 No, must be a trainer...I know a TF-51!!! No, a TB-25!!!

I did a search and N.A. didn't produce one of those

I think the noise you hear is Chuck laughing while he makes us wait and wonder...
