Yes, thanks for the pictures! I really appreciate you including the pics of the PT-19 progress. Did you happen to take any more? Looks like they are going to be able to re-use most of the original spar material.

Ya I think they are gonna be able to use the majority of the original spar. It is in good shape. I didn't have time to take more pics. I don't know if I will be out there this sat due to my jazz band performance.

Is this B-26 one of the ones that were recovered in Canada??????? I dont remember the full story, just remember seeing the pics in a Air Classics when I was a kid.

They have their hands full with the Century Series Fighters.

Ya the B-26 is one of the three from Canada. DUring WWII a flight of 3 were being sent to Alaska and got lost in a storm.

Yep the Centrury Series aircraft will take a little bit of work. As I say on my tours, "It gives us something to do" lol

All the Century birds came from a swamp in FL. They are bringing up the rest of the parts this week. I'm not sure if they are getting the F-105 this week or not.
