I'm almost positive its the same one.

Pretty sure this was kinda a one time thing. We do a ton of MRO work but not usually stuff like this.

I'd be down to bring you to take your kid to work day but your about 6 years older than me. Probably couldn't pull that one off.

I've been corrected. We also did their SBD-5 Dauntless last year. Seems as though they did them as a kinda preservation thing. A lot of the supplies get donated.
