Sandy (the storm)

The wind is probably still blowing at Dover (on Monday morning). I hope it won't to to the AMC Museum what the tornado did at Windsor Locks, CT, in 1976.

Giant 133 Model Update

Hi Guys,

I've been plugging along. The tail cone, port stab and wing center section are left to cover.  After all is covered I have to go back and final sand everything and fix any imperfections. Next will be locating and outlining inspection panels and hatches which will be followed by the rivets.

Happy Halloween!

C-133 Web Site

I've had some issues with the web site. The worst was that, for a while, the site address ended with htm, rather than html. It is back to http://www.angelfire.com/wa2/c133bcargomaster/home.html. There is also a new Guest Book. It's not as fancy as the old one but it works.

I'm working on cleaning up the web site and making it a bit spiffier.

Giant 133 Model Update

Hi,

Finished the cowls, nacelles and some leading edge today. Not much else to say except it's time for a nap!

Enjoy,

George,
Words fail me!  I stood at attention and saluted your photos on the computer screen. Photo #3 reminds me oh-so-much of the 1st MAS (ATS) squadron patch (see below). Very proud of you and of your work!

Giant 133 Model Update

Hi Guys,

Ten days ago I finished the fuse and began covering the cowls. This morning the cowls are covered.  I'll begin covering the nacelles and update progress when the nacelles are completed (in about two weeks I'm guessing). After the nacelles are covered the wing should go quickly. :-)

Best regards,
George

George,
I can’t believe the work you are doing on this. Fantastic!

George,
Thanks for taking us on your journey.  When finished, this will be the last operational C-133 on the planet.  Wish I could shrink myself down to 1/16.5 scale and join the mini-aircrew!
