Big Round Engines and More Work on the Tug | F-4 Phantom

Definitely is wintertime here in Texas. Though it was cold, it was a nice clear day otherwise, perfect for some of Lone Star Flight Museum war birds to take to the sky. Thier T-6 Texan, TBM Avenger, and B-25 Mitchell all looked and sounded great!

Made some more progress on the tug, though she threw a curve ball at us with a flat tire, and we learned why the replacement wheel cylinder is leaking. Progress on the F-4 as well, Crew Chief Al was able to reseal the pneumatic shuttle valve for the rear canopy actuator.
