From Ronald Schultz:

During a special meeting Saturday, MAPS Air Museum voted to obtain the stock from the Buckeye Army/Navy surplus store in Akron that is permanently closing. Materials will be split among the curator departments and the gift shop, with excess materials sold off at the military shows or sold off outright online.

Below are random photos from around both of our Gallery Rooms, the Gallery of Heroes and the OMM Room on the 2nd floor. The above photo is of our Tripehound, the Sopwith Triplane that is our representative from the WWI era of Aviation.

From Ken Ramsay:

Well, I am back from my travels. Work continues on many programs.

: Dan has the H-19’s door frame almost completed. He slid it on the rail and it worked. Skinning is next.

: While I was gone the H-19’s engine was moved to the airframe. Today it was connected to the lower engine mounts.

: Jodie putting the finishing touches on the F-102.

: And a little nose art on the F-102.

: We made and installed the final missing panel on the F-105’s aft fuselage. Just a simple rectangle which made it easy.

: Paul is making the tail hook assembly for the F-105. It is quite complicated.

: F-105 forward fuselage repair has been smoothed over and it ready for primer.

: As I looked at the F-105’s fuselage there is one original repair panel that will remain untouched as it is part of the history of the plane. You can look up YGBSM on Google.

: Bob has installed the first horizontal stab’s tip part on the F-86A

: Dennis is working on the Corsair’s horizontal stab’s attachment structure.

: Ah, the Drake. After many months of work the damage to the Drake has been finished. You will remember it was damaged in a wind storm some months ago.
