Tuesday in Chino

[agent86]

OK Guys, heres my daily report,ranting about Chino.was Alot to see.I was wrenching on the T-6 when I heard something with large piston engines running ,went to look and Aero Trader had a B-25 I've never seen runnig up.the P-40 was at POF









I threw in the pic of the Jaguar because I have a history with E-types,I replaced the clutch on the very 1st E-type imported into the states,I was driving it towards the beach in Palos Verdes ,Ca. when some individual of questionable judgement in the left lane turned right and hit me.yes,its true,I crashed the very 1st E-type Jag ever imported into the US. my legacy

and did you guys from the snow covered states notice the snow covered mountains behind the P-40? it was very cold yesterday ,only in the 60's.I actually had to wear a sweatshirt. I hate the winters here.What is snow? what does it feel life? izzit cold?

The B-25 is owned by VULCAN WARBIRDS INC C/O FLYING HERITAGE COLLECTION, aka Paul Allen

Another 'impossibly accurate' restoration, as they say, for FHC - I've been looking forward to seeing this aircraft in detail, after all of the rumors about its uncompromising authenticity.

thanks for the info Matt,it made lots of loud noises that bounced off of the hangars.I had to go and look.it burns a lot of very high dollar gas too

And a full set of Claytons too! The paint should be interesting given FHC's authenticity Jones and the fact that the airframe went straight to the RCAF, so it would have been bare metal and red post war? But I do se OD blast shielding/cockpit armor. No straffer (4 or 6 gun nose) nose-HMMMMMM we'll know pretty soon!

I sure hate living and working in so-cal,it really sucks.I need to move to some place like North Dakota where the winters are mild

'Why not Minot?'

I'm allergic to cold weather they say its goose bumps but I know its an allergic reaction.born and raised in so-cal,only seen it snow once in 50 yrs and that lasted 3 hrs max. it really sucks here in winter.and dont ever believe it never rains in california.it pours,man it pours.had a bunch of books trashed by the last rains

Hey 86,
Guess I missed you at Chino yesterday...or was that you I met just befor Tony cranked up the B-25?
Tim and crew have done a fabulous job restoring the 25....I have never seen one with all the armour installed. What I liked is the short stacks on the engines!!! Lotsa good round engine noise!
Dave....AW is looking good, I gave her a hug....but you do need to get some gust locks on the rudders....
