Hey Guys, we just got home an hour ago and both planes are in the hangar.
I will post pics sometime Monday.
It was a great time. I'd love to throw a WIX party, beer and cleaner since Its going to take a week to clean Reno dirt out of both planes.

Great job Chuck, your T-6 is a spectacular restoration. Watched you guys depart on Sunday! Are you bringing it out to Lincoln?

I think the trophy weighs more than Chuck does!
What kind of restoration is this!? Look at the dents and scratches...
Pretty cool to see the marks and scars from many a carrier trap left alone. Well done in my book.

PS: I got a look at the Corsair project last week. Didn't know where it was being stored and I was surprised to see it there!

Chuck,
That really is one of the (if not the) finest T-6 restorations I have ever seen. Congratulations on the Heritage trophy and the future awards that you and that aircraft WILL be recieving.
Stu
BTW - Please have it better prepared for my inspection next time!
