It is quite a memorable experience to be in your home and hear Texas Raider (B-17) fly by, directly overhead. It seemed like it was only a couple of thousand feet above.

The sign for the A-26 says that Cavanaugh aquired it in 2008. It doesn't say who was the previous owner. The serial number is 44-35710. I'm told that the Fw 190D is not a real plane. Just a moqup. I've only seen it in the storage hangar. Never on display.

I remember the event several years ago when they had the original artist paint the B-25.

It may still be in flyable condition, but I haven't seen it fly. It won an award at Oshkosh in 1995.

From July 3rd at the south hangar. A great location to watch the Addison Kaboomtown fireworks.

Some pictures from the May and July 3rd events at Cavanaugh Flight Museum.

Look's like its been sitting around for a while. Of course, fire does seem to accelerate oxidation. -
Other plane exibits at the museum. McDonnell Douglas TA-4J Shyhawk Grumman F9F-5 Panther Mig 15 I'm guessing this is a Grumman F-11 Tiger.

This looks like an important part of the plane. Also not the clearest image. Another instrument rack. More instruments. The tail section Port side wing and lower fuselage.

Additional EC-121 pictures. This appears to be a radar screen. The next picture is blurry. It looks like radio equipment or instruments of some type. Would this be first class or economy?

More pictures of the EC-121. Another image of the interior. Unfortunately, the cockpit was blocked by a semi-translucent material. Maybe if it were cleaned, it would be clearer.

Some pictures from the Combat Air Museum at Forbes Field, Topeka, Kansas. A collection of aircraft, mostly from the cold war era. One of the notable displays is a Lockheed EC-121T-LO Warning Star (FAA Reg. Number N4257U). These pictures were taken in 2006. The interior has an interesting choice of colors.

Recently, I purchased a copy of Aviation Classics magazine on ebay. The edition dedicated to the Messerschmitt Bf 109. Not being familiar with this publication, I figured $10 was not too much to risk. It turned out to be a good purchase. The publication is a large format magazine of 132 pages. I am very impressed with how good it is! Good articles, lots of technical information, and pictures. After finding this issue, I decided to look on the internet to see what else was available. The magazine cover shows the url address: http://www.aviationclassics.co.uk. There are several issues covering popular aircraft. I purchased electronic versions of the P-38, Hawker Hurricane, and a special Battle of Brittain issue. It was surprising that they gave me access to about 20 different issues. Enough reading to keep me busy for a while. The computer web browser version of the e-reader is ok. It uses Pocketmags.com. The tablet version as an Android app. is much better. Definitely worth a look.

Updated the images from a new hosting site. The latest work has been on the rear engine deck. Cleaning up the vent louvers on the doors. The reinforcement bars are being removed and will be replaced. Also got some parts for the rear of the engine compartment. Parts from East Coast Armory.
