In the eighties there were still so many living pioneers of the early days. The exhibits and aircraft were great to be around, and we had a lot of silly fun working on airplanes and engines. (Don't kneel on an aluminum drip pan while polishing a P-47 if the polisher is metal and not grounded. When a W-670 is started up in the garage on a test stand, it is loud. Did I mention the smoke?) Lindbergh's Jenny, the replica Spirit of St. Loius that Jimmy Stewart flew, and tons of neat old stuff. Fairchild/Republic and Grumman were close by, and it seemed there was always a competion to see who could liberate the most restoraton supplies. The neatest thing though was to rub shoulders with barnstormers, war vets, Clipper Captains, maintenance guys. What a treasure.
