OK fellas, this C-47 belongs to the Historic Aircraft Restoration Project of the NPS at Floyd Bennett. They are hoping for enough votes to get the Partners in Preservation grant for restoration on it. We share this hangar with the NPS, and I'm hoping they can win this thing, so not only the C-47 gets done, but someone with some dough sees the condition of the hangar and does something to help it a bit, too. So, please vote WIXERS! Help this Project out!
