Floyd:
Having had the privilege of seeing Larry's Basement first hand, you would not believe the C/L history there. MANY of the airplanes are actually in superb condition. Larry's silk and dope finishes must be seen to be fully appreciated. You must remember that De is a C/L junkie and a C/L dumpster diver... he loves finding hidden and dusty relics and such. (As do I, too.)
