[Leica] IMG: Restoration of "Mister Douglas" Continues

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks, Philippe.  It was six separate frames, joined in LR.  I had shot 
a few pics and talked to the crew about their progress, and, as I walked 
away, I thought about the possibility of a pano. All of the camera 
settings were in Auto.  I seldom blow up the images from the XE-1.  It 
resides in my Volvo.  I didn't think about the known spots until I blew 
it up full screen.

Since they are easily removed in PS, I won't attempt a sensor scrub.

They have raised funds for two zero-time Pratt & Whitney engines, the first of which was installed on the airplane yesterday.  The fittings and accessories from the old left engine will now be inspected, refurbished, and installed on the second engine at their shop in Florida.  The fabric control surfaces have also been re-covered and are being reinstalled.
