Did anyone else look at this too fast and see "IL-2M"?
Cool stuff. I suppose their current L-2 isn't of the quality of resto they'd like?

Dick is from Rancho Murietta, Ca, and had the L-2 at the California Capital Air Show in 2010. It had just been restored the year before. Dick's a great guy and has a J-3 he flies.
We got to see the progression of the restoration over the last few years. He did a really nice job.

Slim chasnki.
Seems a pity to hoist a nicer plane to the ceiling when no one will ever see the details that makes this one nicer than the one they currently have.
Hopefully, they'll sell/trade their old one...Im sure they could use the money and it would be nice to have another flier.
