First of all, thank you to everyone for all the well wishes and pats on the back. As I have already said, we couldn't have done it without the help of a lot of great, dedicated volunteers.
Well we made the short trip from Meacham to DFW without a hitch. She flew fine, I tell you, she really loves being in the air where she belongs! Tomorrow we'll spend the day sharing her with 4000 school kids
! Then take her back home to the VFM around 2'ish (hint, hint you photog's). I snapped this one right before we left her for the night with my Droid phone believe it or not. Just goes to show that even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
As for some of the questions that have been posed lately here is what I know:
- Jerry is going to keep the name Chuckie and the same paint scheme for the foreseeable future
- Jerry wants to put a radome in it that is at least externally correct, although probably not functional
- Jerry would like to put the chin turret back on also
- Jerry has plans to finally get rid of the cargo door and restore the RH waist gunners position.
- Chuckie is going to keep the museum open
- We don't know for sure what our next project or plane will be, we are exploring options right now. If anyone knows of any great deals let me know.
