Got lots of pics but need to figure out how to resize them so I can post them. My software is on the computer at home.

Thanks Porthole. Here's a few from yesterday.

First is unloading the drive with Captain Marc. He heads up the project and flies a 777 for one of the major airlines. Really nice guy.

Oh ya, the best part, we got to ride most of the day today!  :orange: Well over 80 degrees today. Sure do miss Iowa, 17 below tonight with dangerous wind chills, canceling schools for tomorrow. Just can't wait to get back.......

I can't imagine what a thrill it must be to show up at a project like this restoration with a major component that these people did not have.

My most sincere compliments on knowing what you (your Dad) had and then finding such a valid use for it.

Thanks for sharing the experience with us

Thanks Spiderman. I had a good teacher, it's the kind of thing my dad would have done if he had the opportunity. Looking forward to going back when they have it done.

Hey Bojiboy, what a great story you've related to us.  Brings back memories of my brother & I cleaning out my dad's garage and finding all his old aviation parts, etc.....donated some to various places as you've done (he was Army Air Corp pilot also.  Glad you got to tie in a CVO trip out of the aviation historical hook-up also... ;)...you're Dad is surely smiling on you all thru this.  Ride safe bro.  :2vrolijk_21: spyder

And we'll look forward to the pictures (lots) of the completed aircraft and the folks who did the restoration.
