Well, sort of anyway.

Bernie started working on the tail wheel after we returned from Reno.This was our first flight since we got the tail wheel to work and it almost made it all the way up into the wheel well. It was hanging out a little so we have more work to do to get it all the way up. Progress anyway.

There's not many that can appreciate how pretty she is now as to when we first saw her. She looked so forlorn sitting out there in that field, sunk to her axles in the muck and mire. Now, in flight, don't she look nice?

Email me that picture so I can print it out for Cliff, please.

Simply amazing. Talk about going back in time. Can't even begin to tell you how much fun it is to be along for the ride as she steps back into 1945.

$20 for the shirt plus whichever postage you prefer and its on the way.

We also have Harpoon pins and stickers available.

The three different stickers are:

A logo the same as the shirt
Nash Kelvinator/hamilton standard propeller
Martin turret

All proceeds go to the Harpoon upkeep/maintenance and restoration fund.

Kenney will fix you up if you like.

Thanks for the support!
