From Ken Ramsay:

Reminder, next Saturday will be clean-up morning.

Repair of the Drake’s keel keeps moving along. I don’t think I’ve seen that many clecos in one place before. This photo shows the new center piece (silver) that John and Ken O. made for the repair.
Aft looking forward of the repair area.

Four more sparrow missiles are being planned so we have a bunch of Sparrow fins in the works.
Right side of the F-102 is nearing completion. Still lots of sanding is needed.

And Dan finished the tail cone for the new drop tank. The second cone is in progress.
Made some progress on the F-102’s elevon or flaperon or what ever it is called. Will trial fit the mount structure (long thin piece in photo) on Wednesday.

A new aircraft has arrived. I don’t have the story yet, stay tuned.
This is an artists rendition of the new hanger we are planning. Twice the size of our current hanger.

With Kent’s blessing, Paul finished installing the remaining ribs on the F-105’s stabilizer. Fabricating the skin is next.
The crew is making support structure for the Corsair. It needs to be raised up so wing structure can be planned.

And the skinning of the other horizontal stabilizer has begun.
The OV-1 now has engines and no longer needs a tail brace.
