The Crane comes out to the Hanger next Saturday

If the weather holds out, should be able to get the plane lifted and the front tundra tires on next Saturday. Mechanic Ron Knudsen has just installed the tail wheel. Boy these wheels are BIG.

These English Admiralty explorers on two ships disappeared with all hands in this region. In 2011, Ron was the first to discover and photograph one of the fabled ships; HMS Erebus, which lay below on the shallow ocean floor.
