I was working on a project at KMIV yesterday and the buzz is that one of the locals will be adding to his collection......

No Guts No Glory

The Jug - truly a classic!
 
I checked the link, now I realize where I saw her before -- at Duxford. What a beaut!
 
The same guy has a B25 and a F4U Corsair and a few others. The P47 is making it's way from California.

It is Mr. Duffy. I've met him in the hanger, it's like going through a private museum. The attached article gives some background. Real nice guy, had no problem letting me and my Mom, aunt and uncle walk about and look. My uncle, going on 85 years old, used to be a mechanic at the then AirWorks plant which did a lot of the overhauls of the P-47. He really got a kick out of seeing all those old planes. The family farm is only a few miles away and I can still remember as a kid waking up in the morning and hearing those big radials getting cranked up.
