This week...a busy one.

Before we get to project pictures, here's some pictures of the DC-3 and another Cessna 206.




Jose watching the DC-3 taxi up to the hangar...looks like they've been muddin' somewhere in the Sudan.


Stephen Musyoki (in the bright green reflector vest), one of the dispatch guys, faithfully washing the mud off the plane even before Jose can get it into the parking place. (notice the mud hanging off the tail on and behind the tailwheel)

Cool picture.


Sitting in front of the hangar with lots of mud.



This plane is ex-N756MS, now 5Y-LMB. It was getting ready for its maiden flight in its new registration when a rain storm came through.


Here it is in front of the hangar.




Now to N827DG...it was given blue stripes the end of last week, so this is the new front view.



Side shot...no registration numbers on it yet...or wings...or prop...all that will come in due time.



This is me and Timothy putting vortex generators on the right wing. We install vortex generators on on the wings, the vertical stabilizer and the horizontal stabilizer. They are supposed to allow the plane to perform at lower airspeeds.


Painting! The guys are priming the two cargo pods for both airplanes and the wings for 7DG.

Timothy (with the light), Jose (with the spray gun), and Caleb (in the bottom of the picture) priming the wings for 7DG.


...and the finished product. They will dry fully over the weekend and go on the airplane the beginning of next week.
