Stopped in for their “Bugs in the Hanger” day on Saturday, a VW car show outside and open hanger.
Always nice to talk with Gary, Vince and the folks there in New Smyrna Beach.
The wings for the A-36 had arrived since my last visit and I really look forward to following this project in the upcoming months now.
Amazing work done here and you never know what you are going to see.

Yesterday one of the items was a Redstone Rocket. :shock:

The A-36 looks great. I can't wait to get a chance to see it in person.

Hi Bill,

Great picture of the A-36 wing. Did you possibly take a picture of the gun bay showing the silver expended case chute? I can see it in the gun bay of the picture you posted. I am looking for detailed pictures of this chute.

Thanks.

Ron

JimH,

Thanks for the great picture! That's the first picture of this case chute that I have seen without the guns installed over it. Man, there are a lot of different angles and curves associated with this chute. Do you possibly have any more pictures - showing the chute from some different angles? If not, no problem. However, if you or anyone else has the opportunity to take some more pictures of this chute in the future, please post them.

Thanks again Jim! Much appreciated.

Ron
