That's quite a gust lock on those controls
BTW I'll just ask instead of looking stupid with a guess.
What's the wreckage in the hanger???

Jack,
I had to look it up too. More info on the Yokosuka D4Y Suisei "Judy" wreckage is here:

Maybe someday with big donations $$$ and much work, it will be more than a wreck in the corner.

But then you'd ruin its originality!

Does anybody know what happened to the Museum's Ki-61 Tony? It seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet.

Is that one of the three Ki-61s under rebuilt Down Under?

No, it was one of the group that Bruce Fenstermaker brought back from Babo in the early 90's. It's from the same group as the Judy. It was formerly owned by the MOF.

I visited the museum today. The Judy included only the wings, tail section and u/c legs. Where is the fuselage now?
Fri May 22, 2009 7:40 am
the fuselage is at Chino in the back room of POF rebuild hangar. it is being worked on, saw it last weekend at the show. Great show also, if you look at the pics on the other links, thats me changing the radiator on the P-38.
we had a blast!
