Couple new tires, some duct tape and some paint and she could be good as new :lol:

Yes Mudge, you are correct.

That is scary sitting like that, it looks like if you broke wind, that it would tip over on her side! :shock:

Actually it looks like they are what we used to call "K-Balling" Or "canniballizing" the aircraft for all serviceable parts.

Now that the PBY is leaving Austin Acres, we do need to find something to fill it's spot...that P-47 would be a good start. :wink:

Look how rough the invasion stripes are. Just reminds you how quickly so many aircraft had to be painted. In many cases I beleive that they were still wet when they took off! Nice pic , as usual. Thanks Jack.

To bad Ober doesn't have his collection of T-28's anymore, you could bury them and start your own ranch statement...
