Lost Squadron List of Friends Restorations/Recovery shops : USA

Fighter Rebuilders, Chino, CA: These guys build some nice warbirds. I remember one of the first F7Fs I ever saw getting HUGE rivets bucked back in the early 90s. My arms vibrated from bucking after helping with the job. They have been big supporters of Lost Squadron since the beginning. This is the original "Chino Kids shop".
Read about it here: Warbird Aero Press Article: Fighter Rebuilders
Like them on facebook Fighter Rebuilders Link A great bunch of guys doing it right. When I was headed home from flying my Cub to Alaska I stopped by and these guys let me park at the shop and took me in for a while. I look forward to the next visit.

Westpac Restorations, Colorado Springs, CO, is another group of friends who do an amazing job bringing the big iron back to life. Check out their P-47 restos.Westpac Restorations Link These guys have supported us for years. When they opened their new amazing shop in Colorado Springs I went there with a case of beer to celebrate and I have visited several times flying Navajos and 310s.

Fighting Classics, Tucson, AZ. Mike/Maj McDougal has been putting together for years. Check out his TA-4J restoration. This aircraft is built from many amassed parts and is now gracing air shows nationwide. I always drop in on him when I can and he takes me in like a brother.Fighting Classics I visited in an oil soaked C337, a broken old Chevy Blazer and one day flying a King Air 350. You never know what is in store for the visit. One day I got to help strip tail panels.

Matt Jackson: Classic Airworks, Van Nuys, CA. Matt does it all from warbirds, anphibians to Navions. When he was at Whiteman Airport I flew in an old Skymaster on the way to Mississippi. The guys helped me keep that thing going. Here is a good article about Matt. He flies everything. Article Matt to fly VooDoo 2000

Ezell Aviation, Breckenridge, TX. I first dropped in to this shop back when they were working on a polished Lockheed Electra. Several years ago I was flying my Cub back from Colorado and stopped by Tom Danaher's place in Wichita Falls. He said, "Ya gotta go check out what the Ezells have going." So I winged over there and Nelson and Ashley took me in like I was family. They brought me out to lunch with a P-38 pilot who was looking over the Flying Bulls P-38 along with some other celeb pilots. They were finishing up that Bulls P-38 that was polished like chrome. What a day. Thanks guys. Ezell Aviation Link
