• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Me too, even with the same awful weather and a T-6. But way more action in the display area. :d
 
Very cool that you got to see that SNJ, Dave! It is regarded as the most accurately/authentically restored SNJ on the planet, inside and out. Thanks for sharing the photos! Same guy has two Helldiver projects currently under restoration to flying condition. Both his T-28 and his SNJ have won major awards for the quality and accuracy of their restorations.
