- In part two of our Pima's Frankenplanes series, the @PimaAirSpaceMuseum 's CEO Scott Marchand and Director of Collections Andrew Boehly explain the careful considerations behind displaying the collection's North American P-51 Mustang as Louis E. Curdes' "Bad Angel". Together, they shed light on the meticulous work behind the restoration of these 'Frankenplanes,' blending parts from various sources to tell Lou's incredible story. Note: Sorry for the shakey camera work!

My dad was the Chief Engineering Officer for the 1st Squadron, 2nd Air Commandos. They fought in India and Burma with P-51 B's, C's, and D's. Curdes 3rd Commandos obviously had D's. Thanks for mentioning these forgotten Groups.
I'm hoping to do something on the Air Commandos in the future. They are a unit that needs more exposure.
Pima is one of the best museums I've been to. Planes of Fame is better though.
Planes of Fame is also a bucket list museum to visit. I'll get there one day.
@@damcasterspod There's one in Texas also.
Interesting but better if Scott let Andrew finish a sentence....
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Or, maybe Scott should have just not invited Andrew to speak🤷🏻♂️? Quite frankly, I get enough of folks talking over others on TV talk shows.
Have you ever given a presentation with your boss? ;)
@@patrickdaly5117 I've passed this onto them for their next annual review. :)
