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.

Need information on J-57-20 engine. USN used these engines in F8U Crusader. Our museum has two. One is still sealed in the can and the other is partially unpacked. Top is off the can. We want to remove the engine and mount it on a stand, but do not know the weight. Our museum is fairly new, just opened last year. It is called Mid American Air and Transportation Museum. Location is Sioux City, IA
