Default T-38 getting close

Had a little time for jet work.My father has been in and out of the hospital with cancer of the bone marrow for about 8 months now but seems to be holding his on for now.This project has been in the works for a wile now and this jet was the last plane me and my best friend for many many years was working on together before his sudden illness and past away 2 years ago.I just got back to it because it was to hard to try to work on it without him being there.If anyone has a 380 series Robo strut left side offset and I am needing and stator for my BVM fan and a adapter for the OS 91 for it to finish up this job.Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks Todd Jackson

Very nice T-38. I flew that exact airplane when I was an instructor at Laughlin AFB from 1981 to 1984. Beautiful job!

Dan, I feel your pain, as my father died from cancer a few years ago... Makes me think that even @ 30 we should not waste any time ! Keep the faith.
