To the left a Canadian AVRO CF-100, to the right...a Lockheed Lodestar painted in RAF colors...in the background, the tail of a AVRO Vulcan.

It's one of those times when things all come together at once. They are:

T-37 - Out late last month (a two year project).
S-2 - Out in a couple weeks. Been a three year project.
EA-6B - Out in a couple weeks. Just needed de-mil / prep. / no major restoration.
The SAAB also just needed a de-mil / prep with no major restoration.

Our goal was to get them all out before our next open cockpit day, which will be May 24, 2015. Looks like we made it! :)

Actually, the Lodestar is wearing South African colors (that's where it came from) but it is remarkably similar to RAF. I always thought RAF as well until I learned differently. The SAAB is wearing Danish markings, as that's where it came from.
