The museum directors have asked me to at least investigate the chance that a qualified museum, restoration shop, vintage aircraft parts dealer, or individual would be interested in purchasing or offering a trade for the entire inventory all at once. The inventory and sorting process is taking far more time and effort than I ever imagined. I must reluctantly concede that once I get the local CAF's TBM turret parts package put together, it might be time for somebody else to take over this project.

We also have one of our Yak-52s and one of our AH-2s in Trade-A-Plane and Barnstormers so PM me if you are interested and need details.

Well, I must say that with 9 weeks to go until my son and I will be out numbered at home two to three, the wife is not unhappy about the turret parts being in Trade-A-Plane. I'm not ready to say "uncle" just yet but it's time to consider all options. I'll say one thing for sure, I've had a great deal of help from my fellow WIXers. Scott and the rest of the moderators have done a great job.
