A place where restoration project-type threads can go to avoid falling off the main page in the WIX hangar. Feel free to start threads on Restoration projects and/or warbird maintenance here. Named in memoriam for Gary Austin, a good friend of the site and known as RetroAviation here. He will be sorely missed.

Our F-86F restoration is nearing completion of it's 10-year effort. Located at Classic Fighters shop in Titusville, FL and we hope fly it prior to year end. Good news, bad news area is electrical. A previous owner decided to gut the entire electrical system-every wire (3500) and component! So, in addition to a usual "ground-up" restoration, we are completing a 3-year new wiring system! Ugh! The paint scheme is marked for the top USAF Korea ace-Joseph McConnell's "
Beauteous Butch".
