Thank you all for the nice comments. I wish it were mine but it's not. It took almost 6 years to get it done and if I were to do it for me just like this it would take 15 years (since I do this full time for other people)

Great work! Beautiful aircraft! Did you all go with the period radio setup? If so, I'd love to see pictures
BDK, Banaire's got some BT stuff, but no where near comparable to what Lance has for T-6s.
Hi Taylor
We do have the old radios in it - I will post more photos in the next week of the cockpits. You bringing the L-5 back to Oshkosh??

Mark,
Is this your bird or was this a project for a customer? It is absolutely fantastic! What's next? If this were to be put on the market, what would the requested price be?
My congrats and best to you and your Pop!

Hi Scott

Dad flew the BT's in Waco TX in 43. He was in the 468th Training Squadron.
