Well, I have to agree with Chuck Gardner, especially with me being about 2 1/2 hours driving time away from them. My vote is Nelson & Dude Ezell. I do not think anyone else has the variety AND quality.
1. Corsair... Lone Star, Pardue, Allen...etc
2. Sea Fury/Fury ISS .... Look at Reno Air Races
3. P-51 Mustang.... Miss Marily II,& Lou Shaw's Thunderbird
4. B-25 Red Bull, now in Austria
5. F8F Bearcat...Pardue
6. Mk 47 Seafire, still in progress
7. AD-1 Skyraider, yep the one flying in North Carolina,
but was owned by Douglas Woods in Dallas.
Nelson and family does not get the media coverage, but their work speaks for themselves. ALL of the shops do great work, otherwise, they would not stay in business. Hats off to all! Alan Brooks
