Lookin' good, Gary!

I smell "Best Bomber" trophy at OSH. :wink:

Looking good!

Do you have a close up pic of the nose art by any chance?

TIA!

Some guys have all the fun... All I'm doing is showing students how to fix them...

This isn't my Poon, it belongs to Dave Hanson, Heber, Utah.....Do I wish shewas mine! Dave has the top turret installed...will be fully operational ..as well as having the tunnel turret...it will be installed soon. This is the best looking PV-2 inside and out that I've ever seen...
I am just lucky enough to be allowed to help turn a wrench on this fine bird.

By the way Nathan, I went past Geneseo last year when I was taking some back roads toward Buffalo....I have heard a lot about Geneseo, but didn't realise where it was located in the state until I went past it...A real pretty valley....Sure blew away all my mid-western conceptions on what New York would be like!

I'll be back!

The person responible for doing the nose art on Attu Warrior, is Dave Mueller...He is in the fourth picture where the two guys are guiding the prop towards the engine...Dave has the dark hat on...

I don't know if he has been on the WIX site before, but have asked him to join in, as he is a very talented artist, and I think all would enjoy his work.

Wow! I didn't have a clue that plane belongs to Dave. He is one very talented guy. I used to be around him quite a bit at Chino.
In fact, he flew wing in one of the strangest formations I've ever been a part of. How about an H-21, Dave in his RV-2 and an L-19 from Chino to Pt. Mugu. 8)
