Members of the Indiana Military Museum, Jerry, Max, his son and myself put in another very productive day with Miss L. The mount cradle and tail mount were set and welded to the display pipes and we slung Miss L into her new home temporality. ….IT FITS!!!! After a bit of celebrating she was removed back to the work area of the museum to continue the painting of the fuselage. When that is done the fuselage markings will be applied and final assembly will proceed. When time comes for that and the final mounting you will be notified as to the particulars.
