Yes, we have some ideas, but if anyone finds WARTIME photos of a Stinson L-5 (not an OY version) on Guam, I would pay to see them...

Ryan,
I think she'd look great in a British Sentinel II SWP scheme... just sayin' :wink: Look good with the Brit painted L-4/Cub y'all have down there.

I'll be eagerly awaiting... You going to be at Wings over Houston? I'm thinking of flying back to Dallas and bringing the L-5 down... If so, we need to go sink some Axis barges off the Gulf... Skippy Peanut Butter bombs?

I was afraid that our awful paint scheme might cause some dyslexia here on WIX, but I didn't think it'd strike you Tulio. :lol:
FYI, I'm really close to kicking off a campaign to get the old girl repainted...

Being cross-eyed hinders me a bit....

Let me know when you are ready and I'll send you some $$ to help with the paint job.
