P-51 Dedication Ceremony Summary
June 12, 2014
We mounted Jean Ann II on her pole on Saturday April 12 at 1:00pm. It took about 45 min to complete the activity. The crew still has to add the canopy, the air scoop panels, do some touch-up, and paint the pole before she is finished. Bob Withee was able to watch the entire process.
