Colorado Springs Warbird Restoration

Sun Oct 26, 2008 7:17 pm

Hello Everybody,

My name is Tim Kutzbach . I am planing on moving to Colorado Springs some time next year . I am looking to see if there are any Warbird Restoration shops out there that would be looking for a A&P Mech to hire . I have been working for the So. California Wing of the C.A.F since i was 12 in 1992 . I currently work for Northrop Grumman in Paldale on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Assembly . If anybody has any kind of info for me that would be great

THANKS !!![/b]

Tim,
Welcome aboard the WIX!
Go to www.STORMBIRDS.com and look into Gordon Paige's Bf-109 project. He's in Lafayette, not sure how close/far from the Springs that is-but it's an opening to be explored. :wink:

Does anyone know if Gordon could use some volunteer work? I live about 20 minutes from the Warbird Recovery/ Spirit of Flight facility. I'm not an A&P, and I don't have alot of cash since I just graduated from college, but I am a student pilot with a love of WWII aviation - particularly P-51s.

I'm a quick learner and would love to contribute. I'm going to try to stop by this weekend and visit.

I'm also good at sweeping floors :wink:
