Hey Mark,
I saw yours and your dad's names in the paper, so I brought it home from Oshkosh. Congrats!

Buy a plane, enter "as is" to Oshkosh, win award! :shock: How much easier could it be? 8) All credit was given to Mark and Joe for sure. Pretty cool. I'll post some official stuff from the Wing when I can get it scanned tomorrow.

Congrats Mark & to your Pop! :wink:

Hi Dan
Yes, we were involved with about 70% of that plane's restoration about 17 years ago

Better start building more shelves for all the awards!

Kudos on all your excellent work with the Fairchilds (and BT-13).
