Hellcat asked:

2. How do I, or we, on WIX want to handle any and all donations? Should we set up a savings account or trust? So we all can see what funds are being collected?

I don't know the answers, but I hope however it gets set up that it will be done in such a way that the IRS won't have a claim on any of it. What would be considered "gift" and what would be considered "income"?

Charitable Foundation in the name of the plane? C'mon, we've got legal staff here.

I am ready to zip down to help you out, Bill!!

I live in Houston, hours drive from Galveston.
I have an A&P and Pilots license, a few years working on big and small aircraft, including a few warbirds: Planes of Fame, CAF, and Norwegian Armed Forces Museum (but that is not my current profession, just my hobby ). I have a portable tool box with the most needed tools on hand.

I am a member of the CAF West Houston, where she and Bill stopped by the week before, and took pictures and 15 min of Video. Bill, you might remember seeing a guy in the Nomex jump suite carrying a camcorder with BIG microphone.

Some photos from Bill arriving to our Open House at IWS airport (most people should be able to find where that is easy )
