That's the stab was formerly on the Rabbit. Had some corrosion in it so we replaced it.
Some how the old one ended up in the back of my truck :shock: :)
I have a attic over the garage that's has a floor in it and lights so am considering
making it man cave #3. 8)

Looking GOOD!, Jack. It would be great to see how/where you store all your fantastic aviation photographs... Do you keep them in file cabinets, in albums that are on bookshelves, in folders in boxes or??? :?:

Haven't heard a word on the B-25's status. I've gone up there 3-4 times but never have caught Shane.
Will probably run up there again next week and try. They must work my schedule.
I keep all my originals in albums except for a few that are framed.
The prints are in file boxes and the digital copies are on external drives.
Plus 7000 loaded into photobucket.
Lost about 5000 photos in our house fire plus many other irreplaceables :cry:
The print of Rex Barber on the wall, BTW, barely surivied intact with Rex's original wings framed inside!
The patches are from my step-dad's Navy Squadron's inc VAH-3, VA-192, VA-196, CVW-19, VAW-11
and VF-191. The Don't Tread On Me flag is from the Bonnie Dick.
