Wll looky whats being restored :)

Douglas BTD-1, 1940s era Marine Corps attack bomber.

Unfortunately only being restored to display status. :(

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

I'm glad to see any old plane brought back from the dead but that thing is smurfy.

Looks like a Skyraider and a Corsair were fooling around out behind the hangar one night.

There were 28 BTDs built; perhaps we should ask that it be included as a PERK RIDE! It does fit the current perk ride model of only having a handful built and never saw combat.......:rolleyes: :lol :rofl :p :noid

Then add Italian fighters (G.55 and Re.2005) and lightly perk them! :D
