F-86A Final Assembly OutdoorsSeptember 18, 2022Renovation Activities ~ As of 10/23/22October 23, 2022 Renovation Hangar (aka Area 51). From Ken Ramsay: Work continues on the Thunderchief. Kent tells me that all of the patches on the fuselage have been corrected. Rick is busy up on the wing. Lots of damage to be corrected. We have 3 high school students helping us in restoration. One is working on the F-105. Keeping Paul busy on the wing also. More patch work on the F-105 The new aileron fits well. We left one of the original patches because its is part of the planes history. Bill has a new toy to help him with the hanger painting. And the hanger roof is being repaired. The Scout Week-end was a big success. Well behaved and interested. There were a significant number of girls and one was an Eagle Scout. The Sabre looks a little small next to the F-14. Share
