Not completely happy with aircraft hung from the ceiling, but I hope they are going to do so with the Helldiver.

Ugly in the air, but 10 times uglier on it's wheels!

With all of the car restoration shows on TV these days (LOVE the Velocity channel!), after reading that all of the parts for the Helldiver are there and ready to be assembled for display, what a cool idea for a TV show. Or is there a show on the boob tube that covers this type activity already?

I'm surprised they didn't install an overhead crane in the new restoration facility...
