That is great. Archie is the one who signed my formation qualification for the CAF in 1987. If you bring the plane to EAA I hope he comes also.

I remember having a chance to talk to him when he was at the Corsairs over Connecticut show. I was shuttling him around in a golf cart.

Remember im still in the reenactor "getup" at this time.
While driving him he turned and said "look at those clouds"! I looked up to see a perfect blue day with beautiful clouds lining the sky. he then remarked "boy id sure like to tear those clouds up" "boy i wish i could tear through those ones" I just sat there and really thought.

I was 17 at the time, and sitting next to this gentleman who had been in the thick of combat that the Pacific could dish out. I felt honored and aw struck. It was like meeting a cleb!

First off this Corsair is a beauty(girl is too). Second it is so nice to see what you have done for him. I agree with the statement that someone made that it looks like you made him younger. You have really done something special on many levels. I hope to see it at KOSH.

Has the engine arrived yet?

That's excellent work, Doug. Y'all sure do have nice stuff at your facility.

Are there any Corsair aces still flying Corsairs like Yeager and Anderson fly P-51's?

He does look 50 years younger in that cockpit!

Excellent job!
