Wing Men







These wings may be fabric covered, but they are heavy and awkward to carry.  Tom Damico, Tom Garden and Bob Oxford had just taken them from the hangar and the waiting fuselage.  We're lucky to have a paved apron for the assembly.

Nick looks a bit like an orchestra conductor here...


After a lot of muscle strain and patience, the wings were on.  
Mellow Yellow is beginning to resemble something that will fly!

Thanks for your comment. We figured anyone who stumbled across our blog was a fellow vintage aircraft buff, so we hope you've enjoyed our tales of triumph along with the woe. I'll pass along any questions you may have for Nick and Tom; maybe, just maybe they'll figure out an answer! Keep flying! Regards,
Kate
