Looks like she is close to getting air beneath her wings. Good Job guys! Hard work in the hot sun. Winds gusting to 40!? helps with the heat, but I would be worried about opening panels with that kind of a breeze. Standing on a ladder 15' up with that kind of wind is.....fun! :shock:

Not only that, but I love the fact they built the hanger onsite specifically for the restoration! Too cool. Must be nice to have that kind of dough :lol:
