From Ken Ramsay:

: The rocket noses in the M-61 rocket pod on the Cobra started to disintegrate.

: So, using Jim Boyea’s suggestion I made new ones using fence post top cones.

: Installed on the right side with lots of help from Dan. Left side noses are in process.

: Mary and Bill continue to paint the hanger. Looks great.

: The T-28 is getting new nose paint. We have found that orange and red paint don’t weather well.

: Here is the Cutlass taken by Rick from the top of the F-105. Needs a little work.

: Hole on top of the F-105’s right wing above the gear well.

: Patch installed. It is reinforced so it can be walked on.

: Overall view of the right wing.

: We removed the Sabre’s right wing from the vertical cart and placed it flat on top of the left wing.

: And then we tried to install the right flap. It wouldn’t install although we had trial fit the rails before attached them to the wing.

: Lying down on the job attaching the flap locking mechanism (Kathy Jo photo)

: The right flap is on.

: The H-19’s engine has been put in place after extensive work on cooling shrouds and exhaust manifold.

: The Corsair’s right main wing spar is complete. Left spar is in work.

: Part of the Corsair’s landing gear attachment fittings are in work made of steel.

: Ray is assembling trim tabs for the Corsair.

: And Tom is working on the elevator actuation mechanism. Yes, the elevators and rudder will work when completed.
