I will get that information when I go back in a couple of weeks. (That and some more pictures.)

Fun day at the museum today. There was a bit of a slow period, so I headed over to the restoration hangar for a look at the projects currently in the works. Currently they are working on a Skyraider, H-19 Chickasaw, and a Catalina. They also have Cougar that will require a quite a bit of work as another future project. Had a good time looking over and into some of these projects. Start off with some shots of the Skyrader.





Some neat wing folding mechanism detail.



Nice big engine.

Moving on to the PBY,,, really looking forward to seeing this one completed.

Next some shots of the H-19 Chickasaw.

Cougar is in pretty rough shape, but the folks here have done some pretty neat work.

Thanks for the pics CC. Great to see those old warhorses getting a chance at a new life.
Keep the pics coming.

I am looking forward to when they have the Skyraider restoration finished. Folks doing the restoration work indicated the Catalina will be a 3 to 4 year project.
