Lord knows, Mike. It's been years since I saw the
photo, and perhaps it was one of those "walk around" books.
Whatever the status of the massive and wonderful job ya'll
have done, it is head and sholders above the commercial
"buy a plane ride" guys. I don't understand how someone
can claim to honor the memory of the men who flew and
the planes they flew, then strip them out to husked shells
and install a Cessna cockpit. No excuses, because there
are people who do it right and still fit the required
modern avionics; it only takes work and respect for
the reality of the aircraft. If I want to see
a Cessna, I'll go to the local grass strip.
If I look inside a WWII P-47, I want to SEE a P-47!
Good luck with that, outside the NASM.
