All,

Champaign Lady Restoration Live Video Feed on our Home page! It is live 24 hours a day.

Champaign Aviation Museum has a new website. I am trying to add interesting things about the Museum.

Also, on the video page I added a video of Paul Good explaining how he is using a camera on a 20 foot pole to inspect rivets.
