Pima Restoration Update - Martin B-26

[clangjr]

Very exciting. It looks like they are making lots of progress.

I did not see on there and I am not fmiliar with the restoration, but is this bird going to fly?

[Taylor Stevenson]

does the pima museum have any aircraft they fly? All I have seen are statics...

[mustangdriver]

PIMA is all static.

there list though for statics is huge though.

Awsome! the Marauder has got to be one of my favorite warbirds. I understand Pima is combining pieces of several airframes..do they have all the bits necessary for a complete aircraft?

We have almost everything for a complete aircraft. We're missing cowls, control surfaces and one or two other things. Everything we don't have is fairly easy to make except for the cowls. They are going to be a bit of work. you guys might want to scan around at the rest of the restoration updates. There has been a major milestone reached on the B-36.

I have this one cowl. At some point somebody from the museum contacted me about it, but I never heard from them after that.

[Steve Nelson]

Actually, that cowl is from a later Marauder. The Pima bird is one of the early short-wing B-26s with the small carberator scoops.

Still a cool piece though..I'd love to have a relic like that!
