Russ,
It almost looks like a model in a couple of those pics. You should be ashamed of yourself having such a clean bird.... Not flying it enough to keep it dirty!

Nice Armament package though.

Now, now, now... I know where you are going with that, and I totally get it and hope that goes well, but Stinson is a nice, historic airport, too!

I am already on the poop list back at Stinson. They told me if it wasn't for the Gulf Oil Spill my airplane would be on the EPA hit list.

Mike - you should know better - notice how you can't see the lower right side wing root and flap (but if you look close in the last two pics....)
For our non T-28 folks that is the exhaust from the lower cylinders (where oil collects) and let me tell you it is not so pristine.
Thanks all!
