Justin and Jonas,

Now that is the best advice I have heard in a long time! Justin you are
right on the money, it takes time, lots of gas money, patience, but the
best thing about all the snooping and looking is, you meet wonderful
people who share our sickness and love of these old pieces of scrape.
And the contacts you keep, are forever, the best source of the smallest,
hardest to find parts that you will need in the future, to finish your
cockpit.

Great advice Justin, and Jonas, you never know were that mythical part
or assembly will be found, just enjoy your hunting as much as the kill!

Jonas,
To get a cockpit takes lots of searching on the net at
places such as barnstormers, Calling scrappers in
places like florida(which are normally a dead end.
they either wont sell or they want too much) and in my
case simply driving to a whole bunch of airports and
snooping around. I used to make a living driving
around the country so that was no problem for me at
the time. That is how Ezra, Steve, and I got our
cockpits. Another example is when I noticed 3 old
DC-8's sitting in Tulsa Oklahoma, I manged to have all
of the instruments saved by someone I knew and I got
some parts I needed. Gene got his F-15 while snooping
around at a museum. Also, the more you do this the
more contacts you make and the more you will hear of
leads.
Justin
