Visitors are sure getting an eyeful from the backdoor of our hanger. Check out this fancy fire-fighting plane that is custom made in Canada. It’s a water-scooper and it’s huge.
The next plane is a former navy P2, fitted with both props and jet engines, he’s ready for take-off.
The next aircraft is a Piasecki helicopter that is undergoing renovation next to our shop. Note the missing front wheel? Not shown, but busy fixing it up is Harold Schooler, he’s making a new axle for the front wheel while Bob Gonsalves, our head maintenance guy, is mounting the rear landing gear. Just takes time and money….
WOW! If we ever get back up to Chico, will be sure to take in the Air Museum!
