LEGENDARY AIRLINERS/HISTORICAL FLIGHT FOUNDATION DC-7B RESTORATION
Carlos Gomez and Marc Wolff rescued former Eastern Air Lines DC-7B N836D from her home of 30+ years in St. Paul, MN in 2004 and have completely restored her at Opa-locka Airport in southern Florida. Operating as Legendary Airliners, they have recently joined forces with Roger Jarman and Historical Flight Foundation and hope to have her flying in late 2009. I have been following this project since 2004 and have compiled a number of short articles and photos.
