Hi all, hope everyone has had an excellent weekend! Not much aircraft related stuff going on around the museum today, however we still managed to busy ourselves 
. John/Joe Swanson (not related, but a neat coincidence), Austin W and I worked on improving the aged roof of the office building. We are using the same kind of roofing that's on Swanson Hall, just a lighter shade of brown. All that remains is the west side of the building and then she'll be all done! Here's what else has been goin' on...
Aircraft -
C-47 - Saturday was her last flight of the season, she will undergo routine maintenance this winter and then grace the skies once more come spring.
B-17 - Will be taken out of the hangar soon to go to an airshow in...NC, I believe.
Hangar - The floor is really holding up nicely! Everyone has done a great job with keeping it clean, which is no easy task. I think that heating and lights are soon to come, but not 100% sure.
'41 Fighter Fund - Upset that ya didn't win the jacket? Well, I would like to announce a new raffle for the fund, your choice of either a C-47 or a B-17 Puzzle! These beautiful puzzles were constructed by our fearless leader Tom K. You can enter to win one or both puzzles, $1 per ticket (so if you wanted to enter both, buy one ticket for each). One of these puzzles would make a great X-Mas gift for a fan of aircraft, our museum, or neat art! An official poster will be posted just as soon as I complete it so you will know all the details. Also, I will be announcing a winter endeavor in the next few days (don't wanna over-stimulate anyone 
).
Calendars - The 2010 1941 HAG calendar featuring photography by our very own Bruce Vinal are now available in the HAG Store! They cost $19.41 and judging by what I saw, they are well worth it!
Winter 09-10 - Looks like a lot of fun and interesting projects will be going on, so if you wanna get involved, now is the time
Pictures - Here are some from around the Museum this weekend...
Ed's Final Farewell, rest in peace chief...
The new roofing!
John wanted me to post this...guessing there is some kinda inside joke here
Almost there!
