New WWII Stinson L5 We picked it up.
We picked up a Stinson L5 today. The L4 is down due to a broken bungee strut so we took the PT26 and had to ferry my buddy back and forth. I am so lucky to be able to fly all of his WWII planes. We started today at 08:30 and had every thing safely in the hanger by 12:30 so we could see our Mom's today. Enjoy
   My buddy Scott the proud new owner  My view  A bunch of stuff I don't understand  The L5 and the PT26  Taxi to the end  I am in the PT26 alone and it is hard to form up and shoot pictures at the same time  Me And to top off this weekend FIFI the CAF's B29 made 2 low passes over our strip last night. |

Nice pics!
A friend of mine is one of the copilots on FiFi, so if they land near you let me know and might get you a good tour.

Fifi is kept in Addison and does it's crew training at FWA Alliance Fort Worth just 6 miles from my strip. Cavanaugh donated $1M to re engine Fifi with the CAF allowing her to stay in Addison. B-29 FiFi New Home

We were just at Alliance and should return at least twice this summer.
Will try to let you know when and maybe we can hit "Hard 8" for some BBQ!
