My passion is old airplanes(metal)restorations namely B-17s.The plane we are working on now just turned 70 years old and is still going strong.70 years.You wont see that with the plastic birds.I’ll dance with the one that brung me.:)
Is there any of the original metal on that bird that was there when it rolled of the assembly line? I wonder about that when the B-52 is brought up. Some of those birds are decades old. How much of the original aircraft still exists and still flying? Boeing does build some VERY GOOD aircraft. Always have. Hopefully always will.
Hat’s off to you. I love those WW2 warbirds and hope they can be kept flying as long as possible. I grew up building plastic models of these great planes. I hope the composite planes last as long.
