Which one? They are restoring more than one.

Not worth it. With the expense of recovery and the expensive of a rebuild which would be a almost entirely new build airframe, it is not feasible. If it was they would have been recovered when Glacier Girl was recovered. There are perhaps other airframes around that are not under 200+ feet of ice th...

All it takes is money, and lots of it.

Bill That is bulkhead 6 in front of the ball turret

This is one of the new bomb bay parts were are having made. This is the catwalk truss. Ray Moore is doing the work and it is looking good

More of what Tom Wilson has been up to lately on the Lacey Lady. Drilling out a lot of rivets on the cockpit roof.

Today we started pulling propellers off the engines, thanks to Paul Bazeley and his volunteer group from Aero Metal International. This was a test to see how difficult at task it wou...

Yep,

Ray Fowler and Brent Conner are doing the ferry flight. Departing the east coast this Saturday. Erickson did indeed buy Chuckie. For the time being Chuckie will reside at the Tillamook Air Museum until the collection is moved to Madras.

On Friday June 7th, Tom Wilson along with his side kick Will arrived at the Bomber Complex in Milwaukie OR. We have enlisted the talents of Tom Wilson to rebuild our badly damaged tail turret. Tom will also be working on the roof of our cockpit. We crated up the parts and sent them back to Georgia w...

No luck yet with making contact with Albert Stix whom we are told has quite the stash of turret parts. If anyone out there has any parts or knows where some may be please pm...

Yes that is a BT13.

Many years ago before any thought was given to restoring her, the ball turret was donated to the Amvets for use in Preston's Pride. The complete upper turret went to the Arizona wing of the CAF for use in Sentimental Journey as did a few items from the tail turret. These are the big items. Luckily w...
