Craig,
I assume you're talking about the Dassault Falcon 50.  She was recently sold and the new owner/owners wanted to completely re-do the interior.  That just happens to be the aircraft I'm working on right now.  I'll post some pics of her when we are finished.  I'll also post some interior pics of the G4 when the installers are finished.

Hyperion, We really could use the help.  We've been working 60-70 hr. weeks for about a month now, and it doesn't look like it will end anytime soon.  I guess you could say upper management put WAY too much on our plates.

Hey thats part of my job in the Airforce.  I paint AC as well as do all the structral maintence an some other cool little thinggs I cant talk about.  So where is this place you work an how much do you all pay, do you use HVLP paint guns on your AC?  P.S. I know lots of people that would come an work for yeah if the money was right.  I have a lot of friends that are getting out of the military right now an are looking around at jobs...

Trucker, I should be able to get some interior pics sometime in the next couple weeks.  I believe she is supposed to leave around the end of the month.

N505AF, I'm located on the NW side Oklahoma City at a little airport named Wiley Post.  The pay isn't so great.  There have been many people leave here to work at Tinker AFB doing the same thing.  Painters make an average of $12/hr, prep crew make $8-9/hr.  I would suggest your friends look at ExecuJet at Love Field in Dallas, or maybe some of the aircraft companies in Whicita, KS.

We don't use HVLP on the aircraft.  They use the old Binks #7's on pressure pots.  I use a Binks M1-G HVLP and a Walcom GEO HVLP on all of the interior stuff, but that's on a lot smaller scale.

Sorry I got a little long winded.  If you have any more ?'s let me know.

Hey Trucker, It just so happens that I am working on restoring an 'ol International Farmall Super-C for my Uncle.  If I remember right its a mid-late 50's model.  As for the wood, this past weekend my father and myself cut and stacked a little over 3 cords of wood, so I guess you could say I'm warmed up.

Do you think you could send some of that corn liquor down Oklahoma way??? I haven't had any of that since my grandfather passed away.  :-)

Hi Dan:
With regards to restoring the tractor, you finding a problem getting parts?
This is really John Deere territory here as they have three dealerships within an hour of each other.
Used to be a lot of Massey's and Fords.
I have a John Deer 4140 all wheel and a John Deer 2130.  Good Tractors.
I have a wood oil combination furnace with two fireplaces and two woodstoves in the house.  
I go through about one tank of oil a year because we rarely go to far in the winter...burn wood the rest of the time.
My one woodstove the grates can be adjusted to burn coal and I have about two tons in the cellar.  I used to use wood during the day and coal at night but now I have about three years of wood cut so I figure the oil and coal is money in the bank.
As for the corn liquor your gonna have to wait until July as the silo is still three quarters full. :)LOL
Gosh that stuff will make you take back stuff you never even stole!!! :)LOL
Good luck on your restoration and will chat real soon.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug :)
