From Ken Ramsay:
-
- On Wednesday Kathy Jo did some final primer application on the Sabre’s wings prior to moving them to the ramp.
-
- The left wing spar for the Corsair is ready for installation.
-
- More detail work on the H-19’s engine by Jodie and Terry.
-
- The Sabre’s flaps are missing tip fairings. Dan and Bob are fabricating new ones (2 photos).
-
- And then we moved the wings to the area near the field hospital (2 photos).
-
- And today, Sunday, we had a very successful pancake breakfast (2 photos).
-
- Cleaning off the Tomcat continues.
-
- On Saturday the F-14 crew said that they couldn’t work on the F-14 that day and they would help move the Sabre out to the ramp. First we had to find a towbar and fit it to the nose wheel.
-
- In other news, the H-19 is getting its color (2 photos).
-
- Ray is creating SUSIE-Q panels to give to relatives of the crew of the WW II B-26 named SUSIE-Q. Very exacting work.
-
- Every week more and more skin on the F-105 is replaced/repaired. Here Paul is sanding a newly installed repair. 3more photos follow.
-
- John and Bruce are restoring an aircraft called a Cassutt. It is a small plane with a 100 hp engine that would go 200 mph. It was owned and raced by a man who flew P-38s during WW II (3 photos).
