We got a lot of work done today. The canopy turtledeck section in half finished. Nelson & Chad are some of the nicest people we have meet working on this project. Working in the hanger it was hot but it wasn't bad at all. Although this is the first time I have seen trees spontaneously combust....

Just some quick shots up for your viewing pleasure. While viewing set your oven at 250, then place a fan in it, sit down in front of fan and enjoy for the real feel experience....

With everyone always wanting to work on a warbird, all I say is the weather is dry and warm here in Breckenridge, Texas. The BBQ is delicious and the people friendly. Nelson and Chad as well as the whole gang at Ezell Aviation have to be the friendliest people we have ever met. I am here all month so get in touch and come on down. I need the help.
