This year's event was the best they've had in years in terms
of warbirds. And the legacy flight was awesome. Did you get
any shots of the CoNA birds? It was so great to get to see up
close what I've been following on the 'net for the last year.

I hope the B-25 is one that comes inside. I am proud to have a good bit of time working on that aircraft.

It's the bird they dragged over from the Museum. It's looking a little rough as do all of the museum planes that sit outside. The humid, salt Florida air and blistering sun does a number on the paint...

When it left Air Heritage it had a nice accurate flat finish on it. Now that they have the room I hope that most of that stuff finds itself indoors.

I don't think they have anymore room. The new hangar is full. They would need to construct another, very large hangar to get everything indoors. I'm not sure what the long-range plan is. The next time I'm at the museum, I'll ask...

I sure it will happen eventually. Museums like everything else are hurting for money. They do have an impressive collection and the main building is beautiful...
