It’s been a great one! Wednesday night’s air show was phenomenal.

My father’s specific job in the Korean war was working on these specific planes.

My understanding, though, is that these planes have nothing more in common with a Mustang than a nascar racer has with the “street” car it is supposed to look like.

The video is really neat.

Years ago, I worked with a museum. We got a new Model T Ford donated from the estate of a guy who did exactly this.

The story was that as single farmer, he was very comfortable doing his own repairs and deeply disappointed when Ford decided to discontinue the model. So he bought nine of them during the last year they were built and stored him in his barn which was available because he had switched from horses to machinery.

As each model wore out and could no longer be repaired over his lifetime, he stripped it down for parts and started driving the next one.

There were three left untouched in the barn when he died and we were lucky enough to get one.
