My friend says that when we tell our grandkids how we got our hands on a bunch of aircraft following the collapse of the Soviet Union... that they're not going to believe us. So I've started a Blog to document what we've been up to.
If you're bored C or just want to amuse yourself with how a bunch of Texas hicks are trying to put together a MiG-21 C a MiG-23 C two Mi-24s C four Mi-2s and some other stuff C it's at http://blog.cwam.org
For example C tonight I learned that changing the grease in a MiG-23 wing bolt is like scooping a quart of doggy doo out of a mason jar... by hand.
And I still have to write up the story of how our Polish parts contact located a new Mi-24 transmission .. in Afghanistan. And then drove down in his pickup truck to go get it!
Where else can you find entertainment like that??
