Very nice pictures. I do hope that they get all the marking and identification stuff correct. It isn't in the present pictures.
Still, I would sure like to get out to Pima Museum one more time , if for nothing else, to get a good look at my favorite plane. This one appears to have been one od the "Operation Featherweight" planes.
One cannot appreciate the HUGENESS of that bird until you have worked on it for two or three days straight with a minimum of sleep or rest, then when you are finally done, climb up on top of the fuselage through the top cockpit access hatch after you have finally corrected the problem and accomplished the final run-up check and look back down the backbone. Got to go put the cowling back on the troublesome engine ---then FINALLY we can go home--- That is when that plane looks a mile long!!!
Been there done that.
