Grumman F6F Tool Box
« on: August 22, 2012, 03:13:04 AM »
I saved this old box from the trash about thirty years ago.  I had to save it again a few weeks ago when my wife had it in a pile for the trash.  I used it to keep aircraft tools in when I did that kind of work.  It has been to Alaska many times.  I wish the tools had been in it when I got it!

That would be quite a project to collect all the correct tools for that!

Now that tool box deserves an honored place in the Wright-Patterson AFB Museum.
The F6F saved our butts in the Pacific.  Not to forget my favorite the Vought Corsair F4U
