I think most of us are junk yard dogs here and like a "good find" story. Check out the story of Walter Soplata bringing home his B-25. It is a great read.

The story of him getting the B36 is interesting too. It was in a book I had years ago, but will see if I can find on-line.

Really cool! I believe they use AI to convert film to 4k. I just love mechanically operated things... airplanes, old SLR cameras, carburetors, etc.
