That one certainly has to rank as one of the best, for sure!

That's great...must be pretty rewarding to dig into those birds to bring them back....

Okay, I know that it is a race plane. :)

I also know that it is an airplane involved in a crash, and the FAA and the NTSB are going to put the lens on the mechanics, drama or not.

I manufacture parts for P-40 kittyhawks, all models and just started manufacturing B-17 Flying Fortress parts for several projects that are under rebuild around the country. I have been rebuilding p-40s for the last 17 years and I never get tired of it. Still a challenge after all these years. Just slightly crazy these days.

Very Cool!

Have you run into Kent White? He seems to travel in the warbird restoration circles.
