Our C-47 restoration is in need of some financial help. We started off with about $4,000 total to use towards the restoration and we are already about half way through that and we will be having some big expenditures coming up to just return its airworthiness.

Thanks

Thank you very much!

Ya if you would like to help, you are more than welcomed to. There is going to be a lot that needs to be done on it before we fly it.

It's sort of slow right now, because we are getting the parts we need ordered. But there is a lot of cosmetic stuff that can be done now while we are waiting.

The only thing is you have to become a member to do work at the hangar, which is $25 or $30 a year, depending on your chosen membership level. That way you are covered by the insurance and such. You also will get other things like a quarterly newsletter, hat, etc.
