Who's Wildcat, may I ask?

MOF's FM-2

The NorthWest Scale Modelers meetings are right inside where that door is although we get in from the inside. Really cool pic.

What is the story behind the red barn? I have a guess but would like to know more.

Jack, is it the one being rebuilt in the Paine Field annex (used to be in a park at Whyte Center), or the one in gray USMC paint inside the Personal Courage Wing?

Thanks again,

It's one of the early Boeing buildings and it's been preserved as part of the museum.

What Jerry said. It's going to have a covering built over it as part of the museums future plans.

[Jack Cook]

Yes, that's the one Tom C. is restoring at Paine.

Ah see?! Someplace that knows how to save and preserve original antique buildings that have to do with aviation! One day before the hangers crumble, maybe we can save a few bricks.

Thanks Jack...very cool photo indeed. I sure can't wait to see the Wildcat when fully restored and painted. I drop by now and then to see how they're doing, and they're making regular progress.

Tom Cruise is restoring a Wildcat? Nice!!

That would be Tom Cathcart director of MOF restorations
