Subject: What a day! A job well done! Almost ready for Airplanes in the museum hangar!

Date: April 26, 2025 at 10:37:18?PM EDT

The last hangar door is up!

Thank you, all who were there. 14 of us managed to complete the initial part of the job in record time - just under 3 hours - and all that is left is the weather stripping and holdbacks so they don’t drift open while airplanes are being moved in and out.

Dan topside, Dennis at the bottom, Bill watching (they also serve who gaze in wonder), Jerry sweeping (they also serve, etc), Pete in the background doing something (?).?

Tim A explaining the finer points of floor sweeping. Management is essential.?

Placement of bottom rollers . . . everybody got into the act. This door went really smoothly . . . a great crew makes the work flow right along.

Ed and the paramotor club installed weather stripping all morning and will be back to do what they can this week (we may need more material)?…

There’s still some basic cleanup to do but we’re just about ready for the first airplanes to come home!

The next big step is paving a taxiway from the apron on the NW end of the Museum hangar to the museum taxiway … that is supposed to start late next week and should, if all goes according to plan, be ready for use about 2 weeks from now.

A few hours with friends, doing something really worthwhile, beats the heck out of going to car shows or flying jets (you KNOW who you are).

Thank you .. Thank you .. Thank?You, all who were there and all who have been there all along in this project. Your just showing up means a lot . . . a LOT.
