Seriously, I think this is a good bird going to a good museum.


First, Nathan, thanks for your support. Second, Is there anyone out there with video experience who would like to donate their time and equipment to document this historic project for us? If so, please contact the HAG Office at (585) 243-2100. Thanks.
Be Safe,
Tom K. :wink:

Well the Geneseo Group got here in Midland on Sat. and got right to work. They aired up the tires where she was parked and started removing the elevators. When I got here this morning, we got her out of her parking space and over to where they could use the pressure washer and shop vac to clean out the interior mess that some rats had made. We made them wear masks and use clorox bleach to disinfect the problem areas.
shes in the hangar now and the disassembly will continue this week.
Here's some pics of the B-23 in the wash area.

Great going guys. I just wished you all were a CAF team instead of a bunch of "carpetbaggers" Lots of luck with the project. The CAF has lost to many planes in the last few months, thank goodnes none to accidents.

Great to see the old girl getting some love!

Totally OT, but am I the only one who thinks the Ju-52 just looks plain wrong with three-blade props? 8)

I was told by the then Boss of the Lufthansa Heritage Flight that they'd adopted three blade props on 'D-AQUI' (D-CDLH) because they were quieter.

Oh, I don't mean to complain..just teasing a little. I assumed they were used for expense/availability/maintenance reasons.

Isn't that secret information. Should be "Going to a secret location on the right coast"
