We've got a private outfit restoring 2 C-47s at the hangar in Fort Worth. One of those C-47s was a backup plane for D-Day Invasion. They belong to a private party. He is spending some big bucks in the restoration.

We rode out to the farmer's stand across the road from the museum. This is the best I could get from Princess Anne Road. There were a couple in the air but so far off it would have been a waste of time to take a shot.

While we were in Fort Worth yesterday, we went by the hanger to check on the CAF's A-26. They had it on the flight line, doing some engine work. The private outfit had it's C-47 in the hangar doing some engine work as well. It was great to the A-26, almost ready to be airborne again. The sun was too bright to take any pictures.

Haven't seen one of THOSE for a while.  Probably a staff or courier plane.  The Army doesn't have many fixed-wing planes, but there are some.  I tried to get into flight training for that, once upon a time.  My ears were already "shot" (literally - gunfire deterioration) so I couldn't pass the entrance flight physical.  If I'd already been in, my deteriorated hearing wouldn't have mattered, but since I was applying for Warrant Officer Flight Training, I couldn't get in.

We've got a Squadron meeting this weekend and it will be good to see our A-26 again. It will be hot in the Hangar. The Planes will be moved out to the flight line for maintence.

I don't think that whole fuselage would fit in the doublewide. Somebody creative with a Sawzall could cut the nose panel off though, and have something to hang on the wall. Hanging next to the picture of Gus McCrae and Danica ;D


looks like the propeller warning is no longer needed.

We have a collection of "Nose Art" in our main maintence hangar in Midland, Tx(HQ of CAF). Some one took a cutting torch on the fuselage of WW2 bombers that were to be crushed and cut out the nose art. The collection is known to us as "The Girls". They are on display for everyone to see who visits our Museum in Midland. They are hanging on the walls of the hangar.
