I know the addition isn't done yet. Wanted something to look at while I'm at it. Each panel is 2' X 2' x 1". Distressed pine planks. Pretty cool:

I believe it's a DC-4, not sure though. I would have a better idea if I could I could see the tail and landing gears. In my mind, it's excellent - I likes.
Looks good
I like......I think U R right Randy.....I rode in one of those from Atlanta to Pittsburg in 1965.....very smooth ride......came back on a jet.....very bumpy ride.....
That's nice!! Get you one of an F4E.
We have one of those stationed here in Houma to be use in case of an oil spill. It's to be used to spread dispersant. I'm in awe every time I see it flying. The East/West runway has it coming right over my house. It flies so slow that it looks like it should fall from the sky.

Thanks Danny. The only F4 I have now is the Vought F4U Corsair - Whistling Death:Quote:

Now that you say that paw paw, I remember seeing them use one to spray for mosiquotoes after the hurricanes. It was impressive seeing that big ole plain fly low over the marsh!:biggrinQuote:

JR, your Dad was a super hero of the highest caliber. Thanks to veterans like him we won the war and became the worlds most powerful nation. I wonder if there are people of such caliber left in the USA today. I know you lost your Mom recently but I think you Dad is still living. Next time you talk to him please give him a great big thank you for us.

They make sheet glass that provides UV protection. I used to work in a frame shop that carried it, and we'd cut to fit whatever it was going in. You may check around with any quality frame shop and see if they carry it near you. Might prevent total loss of the signature. Nice pictures by the way. I like both of them, particularly the DC4Quote:

Sorry to hear that JR. Your pictures are excellent. I hope you keep them out for all to see instead of put away some place to bring out on occasion. Those are to viewed on a daily basis if it were me.
My dad with the weapon of his choice:

Capt. Robert Andres, 433rd TFS - Satan's Angels. Viet Nam 1965. I can still remember him by seeing his picture, been a very long time.
That's neat Randy. And to think they were young Men. Ask to do a tall task. Mom had Dad's pictures on our bedroom wall growing up. This is his room. His medal shadow box with the silver star in the middle.
Thanks for sharing Randy and G!
