As we're are on break from our training at Flight Safety, we decided to go for a ride and drove to Falcon Field in Peachtree. We thought that we would buck ourselves to a closed door, but Jim Buckley was there and he let us in to see the airplanes.

A big thank you to Jim who made an otherwise dull day shine very bright.

These aircraft having their " skin" off , are being serviced for various reasons. I wish that aircraft in museums on static display would have some panels off so the internal workings could be studied.

Kudos!


BTW, while your at it, join the CAF. $200 is not expensive to what you get. :)
(or join any vintage aircraft organization for that matter).
