Undergoing restoration at Dynamic Aviation. I was lucky that the aircraft was outside the hangar for a few days being cleaned with a dry ice bead blaster. It has recently been re-registered N8610 to reflect its military serial, 48-610. The aircraft is in the 5th year of a comprehensive restoration and is starting to be put back together. Hopefully the restoration will be completed in 2 1/2 to 3 years and I'm looking forward to its first post-restoration flight. This photo is copyright © Ralph M.
