Ball Turret Gunner Poster Finalized

The ball turret gunner poster is now on display to answer the every day questions concerning the ball and the gunner.  The poster is 4 ft wide with an illustration of the ball with the gunner inside.

The text portion of the display answers the everyday questions of our museum visitors

Museum Hangar Floor Painted

 Otto Vent has once again made his annual “snow bird” trip to Tucson and aided in the maintenance of the Museum. Our floor is painted with ester epoxy paint that has great durability but does require an occasional devoted attention.

Increasing with time our visitors to the museum are quite impressed with our veterans who flew the B-17 and Otto aids in this presentation.

Utility Tub Replaced

Our Monday docent, Rich Carr, is such a  terrific handy man  that he aids in all sorts of special assignments.  Here he is shown replacing our old paint stained utility tub.
