Prayers for you guys and the docs that they can finally determine the cause and corrective path forward

What an amazing place and beyond amazing aircraft. The cherry on top of the Sundae was to meet B17 Pilot Richard Bushong. He's 92 years old and as sharp as a tack. We bought his book and he autographed it for me. Richard flew through the end of WW2 and on to Korea and Vietnam.. He flew 28 combat missions as pilot of his B17's.. I took over 180 pictures and will take more when We go back in a few weeks to finish our tour there and then to the AMARG Aircraft Grave Yard just down the road..





















Awesome! Never heard of the place but looks like a good addition to the list. I love the ww2 planes. P38 lightning is my favorite. How much was the book?

Makes my stupid engine issues look pretty small. The used engine I bought has a couple toasted cylinders but two of the old ones are still good so Chris and I worked on swapping stuff around. Now I just wait on the gasket kit so reassembly can start.
Well how about...... Naw, I won't start that. Good luck hope it will run and get a good season out of it. Hope you didn't pay much for it. Did it have a vacuum leak?

Good morning everyone. Looks like quite an experience Randy! Perhaps I'll get down there sometime to check it out, I really love air museums. When I was younger we went to the one at Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio a couple of times, but it looks like this one is much larger.

Cool place! Would love to go there someday. I have been by there a couple times but never been able to stop and see it.

I never would have guessed one of the reman. injectors would have been the culprit. But they did take care of the wrnty claim quickly and that says a lot about them. Don't forget to wash it before you deliver it! LOL

Thanks guys. We saw the neurosurgeon a few minutes ago, he thinks she may have another shunt problem. She goes back in a few minutes.

Yeah you just never know even with new parts. I will see what I can do about washing it before delivering but no guarantees.
