Default Re: How bout a few Vintage aircraft photos?

Confederate/Commemorative Air Force had a flyable P-82 back in the early '80s but it suffered a crash-landing and is only recently getting close to becoming airworthy again. A second P-82 was in an Ohio farmyard for decades until the owner recently died and the airplane went to someone for restoration.

Note that the Lackland P-82 has two left-side props that are probably fiberglass. The CAF needed props for their wrecked P-82 and may have gotten the USAF to let loose the ones on the Lackland airplane. I think I read that the CAF was trying to get the USAF to let them have the good props on the display airplane and replace them with fiberglass facsimiles.
