Default WANTED: Museum seeks B-17G Flying Fortress radio/radar equipment

Best of luck from Oshkosh ! "Aluminum Overcast" made it's first flight
March 7th since it's gear collapse about a year and a half ago. As long as
it was necessary to repair the nose, props and fit new gear it underwent an
entire overhaul and received four brand new engines as well ! It's amazing
what can be found for these old workhorses if you look hard...... it starts
it's yearly tour at San Diego's Gillespie Field Airport on March 31st.

Although they are fast fading away, the look in the eyes of the men who
crewed these that visit while it's on tour are worth all the effort. I've
seen 80 year old men walk over and kiss her nose and quietly shed a tear.

Mike, W9WIS
