Another one of a kind or maybe one of a kind airplane saved by the great Ed Maloney and his planes of fame.He's been a major hero of mine since I was just a kid and lived down the street from the "planes of fame "museum when it was located in Buena Park,Ca.(yes,that buena park.home of Knotts berry farm and no airport for approx 5 miles or so!) and i'm now 42 so he's been there for a long time.Just imagine how much poorer the warbird community would be had it not been for his foresight and determination to save all of the great planes that he has saved .Thank you Mr.Maloney
