Just thought I would throw this out there. Maybe I can help someone.

I will be hauling a PT-23 project out to Pennsylvania the end of October, and would be happy to help someone who might be needing something moved back from that area to the midwest (Illinois/Wisconsin area). Engines, wings, whatever.....

PM me if you need something moved in that direction....I'll see if I can help you out.

Steve :wink:

......(Bump)......

Any takers?

We are loading up the PT-23 this weekend. If you know of someone that needs something moved back to the midwest from out east, we would be happy to help....

Steve :wink:

I just got my C-123 tires moved, but I was almost going to e-mail you. Thanks for the offer though. That is very nice of you.

No problem my friend. I am happy to help where I can.

If you know of anyone else who might need some logistical help, send 'em my way.

:wink:

Just to let everyone know that Steve didn't get completely stood up, as he'll be hauling a piece of TBY from PA back to cheeseland for me.

Other WIXers have had similar experiences with Steve Dennis, but I simply must add that there are few people on this planet I would trust more with getting the job done in a careful and professional manner. Thanks, Steve.

Thanks for the kind words Dan.

Just so everyone knows, even though Dan's TBY is a massive beast, and the part I'm bringing back for him is good sized, there is still LOT's of room on the trailer for other stuff.....

Steve :wink:

HUH?!!!! :shock:


Please I need more details! :D I didn't know any TBY survived! Let alone in Pennsylvania. Although it makes sense since they were built in Pa.


Cheers,
Nathan(the interested)

Just take a deep breath there, Nate.

You're correct: No TBY survivors. This is just my humble attempt at collecting as many original bits of the old bird as possible to be included in a static reconstruction. I've located about 4 feet of original canopy in PA which Steve is graciously transporting for me.

Thanks Dan.

Wow four feet huh? The TBY does have one HECK of a long canopy doesn't it? :D Now all you need is about another 15 feet worth of canopy and your set! :shock:


Let me know Dan how you make out. I'm very interested! :D


Tally ho,
Nathan

P.S. And all this time I thought you were just a poster. :wink:
