Yup, finally gone digital.

Still need a lot of practice however.

The P47 in restoration is stored until the Corsair is over and was not available for viewing.

And yes FG1D Pilot, Randy White's BBQ was a blast :D :D

Sorry I missed you.

Hoping you will like the pics.

to answer several questions. Plan to start T-6 repairs next monday. Engine is still a ways off for the F4U, won't make OSH. Blew a jug yesterday in the C47 and have to pull engine for repair. If not too bad, hope to get it ready for OSH. If not we'll bring something else

Are you referring to the B-29 "Doc" undergoing restoration by Boeing? If not you're geography is a bit off - it is being restored in Wichita, Kansas.
