I'm glad to see that 200 mph duct tape (rather than the standard 100 mph stuff) was used to seal up the Lightning's plexi. Gotta' take care of those backseaters!

Quite right.

Cool instrument panel shot. That's N3JB, right? I sure wish I had taken more photos back in my younger years. That plane was IFR certified and still had a working oxygen system, and working superchargers when John Stokes owned her.

Oh, and thanks Peter A, for the photo of the Lazy E patch! For those who might not know, that's Connie's ranch brand, and he had patches made of it for putting on caps and flight suits, etc. Myself, I'm proud to have it! Hmmmm, maybe I need to cut it off the old blue bag and put some velcro on it so I can wear it on my OD bags! It's a sure fire IFF device!!!

It's also on his super Cub, painted on...no trashy decal for Connie or Tex.
