Re: USAFM restoration shop

Yeah it is in the hangars in the same row with the shop. It is something else. When it came time to get the engines for the Belle, we wanted to have four engines that were Pratt's aas that is what she would have had rolling out of the factory. They sent us to storage, and brought four engines and props out for us! They aslo have an entire interior to a B-17F in storage, guess where that is going? There are several more aircraft in there as well.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Re: USAFM restoration shop

Any chance you could sneak a picture or two of that area?

Re: USAFM restoration shop

No problem my next trip over I will do that. Skunky is actually part right. We aren't allowed in there with out some authorized personel. Once I went into the flying club where there was a Piper Cherokee 140 in the hangar with a U-2!(and not the one in the collection).
