Interprid museum anounces: Aircraft Restoration Update, by Eric Boehm, Manager of Aircraft Restoration from Skycontrol by alain
The summer was a very productive period for the aircraft restoration projects and the momentum carried us through the fall season. Special thanks to the dedicated volunteers who have donated many hours of their time to our endeavors. These volunteers include Pete Cea, Carmine Stoffo, PJ Aronica, Dina Ingersole, Vincent DiCostanzo, Juan Elle, and Dan Blaich. None of our accomplishments would have been possible without your hard work and dedication to the Intrepid. Thank you all. If you recall, I mentioned that we would be working on our MiG-21 over the summer. This aircraft is also completed and is now resplendent in a high profile NATO Tiger meet paint scheme of the Polish Air Force.
Hangar 9 presents: the Fokker D VII 60 ARF, Germany's WWI Hero from Skycontrol by alain
The German Fokker D.VII is frequently cited as one of the best fighter aircraft of the First World War. But its story of inception is what makes it a supremely interesting subject. During the latter half of 1917, the Allies had regained air superiority over the Western Front with the S.E. 5 and the Spad fighters. To counter this, the German government invited aircraft manufacturers to submit prototype single-seat fighter designs for evaluation at a competition to be held at Adlershof airfield in Berlin in January 1918. The aircraft would be demonstrated by the manufacturers, and would be tested by front-line combat pilots. The design with the best overall performance would be awarded a production contract. Thirty-one airplanes from ten manufacturers entered the competition and the Fokker D.VII was the winner, earning an initial contract for 400 units.
Great Planes presents: P-40 Warhawk "Flying Tiger" almost ready to fly from Skycontrol by alain
In early 1942, the American Volunteer Group's success over China did wonders for U.S. morale following Pearl Harbor. The Flying Tigers and their shark-mouthed P-40 warhawks destroyed nearly 300 enemy aircraft while losing only 21 of their own. This sport-scale P-40 ARF does the WWII legend proud – with a high-quality design and the versatility to please every low-wing pilot. Great Planes includes a fiberglass cowl and lightweight, balsa/ply main structures covered in an attractive Flying Tigers trim scheme. The camouflage color scheme is topped off with such instantly identifiable details as this "Flying Tigers" insignia – lending just enough realism to turn each flight into a WWII adventure.

If it weren't for a couple of fellow RVers, a crushing amount of pain in my shoulders from crouching over my computer in my day job, and J.W. French, I wouldn't be going. I'd be working on that RV-7A canopy. At the reception for J.W.
