Still working on my SNJ-5....

Bela P. Havasreti

Getting ready to start on American Airlines DC-3 "Flagship Tulsa," which we're finding out may have been pressed into service as a transport in 1942-1943 while C-47 production was gearing up. Does that count?

Ober- what kind of seats do you want? We've got 28 typical passenger seats that we're not going to use. We're looking for the originals that would have been a 21-seat configuration. Do you want our 28s?

My partner and I are restoring 2 Yak-3's One is Allison powered and the 2nd is a R-2000 powered. The Allison Yak is just about ready to test fly. We are hoping to get her in the air in early March. The Pratt and Whitney powered Yak-3 will take another year to complete.

Wings of the north is working on a BT-15, It is about 1/3 of the way done.
