A place where restoration project-type threads can go to avoid falling off the main page in the WIX hangar. Feel free to start threads on Restoration projects and/or warbird maintenance here. Named in memoriam for Gary Austin, a good friend of the site and known as RetroAviation here. He will be sorely missed.

Kris it still is not a good time to visit the Soplata collection.
The family is still doing our best to take care of Peggy (Mrs. Soplata), that is our primary concern.
After all the collection is not going anywhere so we would appreciate allowing Peggy to have her peace.
Please keep her in your toughts and prayers and thanks for the understanding, Bill

i can only imagine the harangues they are getting from the u.s. govt, & it's swathes of red tape, warbirders, etc. it will take years to iron out their legal affairs.

Not really. From what I have been told the arrangements have already been made with no confusion.

i'm sorry..... but i don't believe that. uncle sam has his sights set on the property. it's mostly the epa & the irs. i hope you can elaborate, & i hope you prove me wrong!! tom reilley is pretty savvy, but i don't think anyone can dodge that rat's nest of govt red tape to solve that estate!!
