What's the story on the Sabre? Is it a Canadair or an NAA Sabre? Any plans to get it flying?

JCP...have you flown the parrot head yet? Any inflight photos available to post, if so? I too just love that scheme.

Has a paint scheme been chosen for the P-51B/C yet?

I saw a P-40 with "Sneak Attack" on the rudder...was this one of your birds, John-Curtiss?

I believe the rudder got new fabric and the artwork is now framed

Jack is correct on all accounts...as usual!

As for the F-86...it won't be a flyer but will be a beautiful static example. Lots of new parts and fairings on it. We're painting it in Bob Love's markings.

Photo credits on the pics Jack posted go to Jim Raeder by the way.

JCP, sorry I missed you the other day.
I really like the display about the P-40 and the farm in Canada.
I know they have some good soil, but do you know where I can get any seeds to try to plant one myself?
Harvest day looks a little hard...

Seriously, these are some great pictures and a cool story about aircraft recovery in Canada.
I should have taken more pictures of this display. Is this story posted on the internet somewhere? (Alberta Canada 1978)?
Best Regards,
