This is in a guys back yard in Lakewood WA. He said he has one more in the garage in the background. This was a MC Chord AFB T bird he purchased for scrap!

Any idea what's he going to do with it? I thought I was the only crazy with a warbird in their back yard. :lol:

The guy has a "museum" in his basement, he has mostly uniforms, guns, knives, medals, badges, lots of small things. He also has a Norden bomb site and gauges from all sorts of aircraft. Everything is for sale. He started acting funny when I asked if I could have a closer look at the T bird? As if it were still a skunk works project? I cant remember what the plan is for the bird in the picture, but I distinctly remember him saying he plans to "fire up the one in the garage" while its in the garage! :rolleyes:
