Update: 2015-12-07

Description

"Wanted: Pilot/Mechanic to restore and fly warbirds." You just don't see that in the want-ads. But can anyone be successful in a long-term career with warbirds? Yes, they can. Meet Jim Dale, and hear about his 30-year career flying, restoring, and maintaining warbirds.

See photos of Jim with a T-33, and at the controls of a Grumman F8F Bearcat, in the show notes for this episode. That and more "fuel for an unconventional flying career" at OddballPilot.com!
