Fantastic! Can't wait to show this to my wife, she thinks I'm crazy for building a P-47 cockpit in my basement!

CAF Airbase Arizona is building a B-17 cockpit section out of wood as well for a hands on display in the museum. I'll take some pics later this month when I'm down there to do some wrenching on the flying B-17.

Here's the CAF Airbase Arizona project down at Falcon Field. I'll be back down there at the end of Jan and again at the end of Feb, can post updates as they progress.
