this past series of pics w/ the multitude of still installed instruments were shot UNDER, REPEAT...... UNDER, walt's house. the instruments are from previously owned ortner air service c- 46 commandos. forward cockpits. 2 if I recall. the other is of an f-100 fuselage w/ cockpit, or a f-100 flight simulator. there was more in their, but lacking a flashlight I didn't go further without a tetanus booster shot. it was black as night beyond the pics shot. outside you'll notice 1 of the f-82 twin fuselages, now being restored. the salvaged b- 25 "wild cargo" now restored. the 25 was very vandalized, & walt did not conceal being pissed off about it.

How did the crash of Race 74 affect the Soplata family's attitude in regards to the distribution of the estate? As we all know it his wish (and terms of sale IIRC) that the aircraft not be flown, with his worst fears in regards to the fate of the aircraft if it ever flown sadly coming true. I know the Soplatas issued a public statement of condolence after the crash, but was curious if anyone knew how it might have affected their views towards the distribution of the remaining aircraft going forward.
