Geneseo news!!!
Fri Aug 28, 2009 7:09 pm
hi all,
Just got back from working a day at Geneseo. Yesterday and today was major work days. Spent today cleaning out the old hanger. Threw out lots of junk and rearanged aircraft and I helped move a couple N3N projects. So I got all good and dirty with N3N's!
(I like that kinda dirt) Lots of progress has been made. I almost had a bad day when a 1000 pound dumby bomb that we were moving almost fell off the stand and it would have landed on my feet!!! 
Other then that...... 
Two more "work" days are being planned for next week or the week after I can't remember.
The reason for all the moving of stuff and trashing junk is to make room for a few new aircraft that will be going to the museum. I know of one plane but I am keeping hush hush for now. I will give a hint: it is powered by two R-2800's!
And it is a flyer I been told. Thats all the details I will give. Gotta keep the folks suspense built up you know! 
B-17 "Movie Memphis Belle" received a new paint job a few weeks ago. She looks freakin fantastic and has the correct olive drab too!
Thats all for today.
Tally ho,
Nathan

There has been talk of them getting the MARC A-26 for years. Now that that is flying I assume that is one of the aircraft. The other I'd love to know!
Any word on the A-20 yet?
And getting, what does that really mean, will it be HAGs, at Geneseo with MARC or on loan?

Long term loan I have been told. And sadly the update on the A-20 is that it will be Static now!

That sucks!
If I had a million dollars... Forget the K-Car I'd buy a Havac!

I know. An A-20 regardless if Geneseo owns it or not, operating out of Genny would have been freakin cool. I don't think I'll ever get to see a A-20 fly!

I pretty sure Jerry has one in the pipe line Down Under to fly. There is hope but more is always better!
