Aviation Restoration from the Heart, March 6th, 2016

1 hour 7 minutes

The picture on the left is of Betty Wall Strohfus, the legend who is at the heart of the work you will hear about in this week's show. Shortly after our live show on Sunday night, Betty passed away at the age of 96. An emotional time for all those connected with her. The following link serves as a tribute to Betty.

You're going to love this week's show as Marc and Al talk to Terry Baker, who heads up the American Aviation Heritage Foundation, which is in the process of restoring a WASP BT-13 (www.facebook.com/Americanaviationheritagefoundation).

You'll hear the emotion in Terry's voice as he talks about the people behind the project, who are emotionally and physically committed to honoring the legacy of the women of the WASP who were pioneers in every sense of the word.
