I am seriously a bit jealous. Like I said in another thread, I am an A&P, so I want to see if I can volunteer my serviced in helping restore old warbirds when I return to the states.

Dang, Junkers....you do this full-time, or is it a part-time volunteer thing? I'm thinkin it might be a good idea to donate some of my Saturdays to the (relatively) local air museum over in Addison...

Also, whaz the story with the white-walled tires? I've never heard that one...

it started out 12 years ago as a volenteer and now i am the project manager on the restoration of the Ju 88 a1 we salvaged and also in charge of the preservation and "updates" ( add-on of missing parts ) and completion of other german aircrafts and WW2 equioment we have in the museum

the story on the whitewall..hehe
read this but i must warn you..it may sound far off and fetch..but when you get further out in the thread..you will see and understand the whole thing..and all german aircrafts had white wall rear tires for a very good reason

beeing a volunteer might take you places you never imagined.. but it all depends on how much volenteer one is..we have many that comes and go..we always start by telling them to start cleaning the floor..if they are really dedicated they do so.. and advance..i started myself cleaning hangarfloors and dusting of the aircrafts and a A&P..well..that is a good thing as people with skills are always needed

keep up that thought today i have mostely worked on the Ju 88 trimtab systems.. just the main box has taken a whole day to take apart and put back togheter in working condition. and the rods and those #"¤% conections are up next..they are timeconsuming

Hells bells GF, move the museum here and I will sweep floors and dust aircraft. Just to be close to some of the aircraft in your museum would be a privilege.

 

[Gnomey]

Agree wholeheartedly with Paul. Excellent work you do.

i think its easier for you to move than moving the whole museum..hehe
its 38 aircrafts and equipment..that si not easily moved

Ahhh come on, with that many aircraft you should be able to transport the musuem any where around the world. The hard part is getting them in the air and back down in one piece.

hehe

weeeeeeeeeeeel..many of the birds are flyers.. but we dont fly them as they are national heritage and are destined to be preserved for the future

latest work on the Ju 88 stab. done by a proffesional metalsheet worker. the leading edge was a "total loss " before he started on it..also the stringers inside ( note before and after )
its good to have a magician with us on this project
