Good Idea I will support this thread from this end when possible. Yankee Air Museum is gathering radio equipment for our late C47B. If you have any surplus gear especially racks/mounts, perhaps wew can work a swap. G Schwartz |

Anyone have access to radio position photos of the period 1945 - 1955? I need photos more specific than those found in the Tech Order -1. |

I believe Desser Tire is still carrying and recapping. The guys down the taxiway recently sent some B-25 mains out for recap...I'll check where they went. |

http://www.wilkersonaircrafttires.com/ I think these guys do the recaps for Desser. I know Wilkerson is where Barbie III was sending theirs for capping. |

I'm pretty sure Goodyear produced two new sets of tires (mains and tailwheels) for our DC-3 a few months ago. I'll check on it for you. We are restoring an ex-American Airlines DC-3 in Tulsa, and have acquired some spares for that project. I'll start posting some of the parts we have available for trade if others are interested. kevin |
