*Boredom Fighter Gallery*	13 Dec, 03..... Updated Pictures
I've been playing with a new Adobe product called Atmospheres which is bundled with the new Photoshop Album 2.0. You'll need a plug-in which is available from Adobe at this link. I believe this only works on windows at this time. Let me know what you think...This is a pretty cool way to show photos..
	19 Oct, 03..... Updated Pictures
Dan Stroeing took several new pictures of Ward Boursaw's Boredom Fighter and sent them in. Dan was also able to colorize a couple photos, one of which is pictured at left. Pretty cool, huh? Dan is looking for a BF and is involved in a full size replica project of a Douglas World Curiser, which can be seen at http://www.seattleworldcruiser.org. Very interesting project! Also added a new picture of Frank Baldwins' BF, taken in formation wtih a replica SE-5.

	14 Nov, 02..... Ellis and Boursaw's BFs added
Several updates today. Added a page for Matt Ellis' Boredom Fighter which appears just about ready to fly. Received a couple pictures of Ward Boursaw's BF in Washington. The interesting thing about Ward's BF is that it has a very nice round cowl. Added both of the above BF's to the Builders page and we're now up to 25 different Boredom Fighter's pictured on the website.
	3 Oct, 02..... Larry Harrison's S-10 Powered BF
Added recently received photos of Larry Harrison's Boredom Fighter in Southern Georgia and created a page with additional photos of Larry's aircraft. He's getting ready for flight and may have already done so as of this time. His BF is a little different as it has a Chevy S-10 engine for power.
	18 Sept, 02..... Steve Adams' BF in Fargo...
I added a new photo to the Builders page. Finally located a nice photo of Steve Adams' Boredom Fighter, N317MA, which is stored at the Fargo Air Museum. Photo is used with permission from, and courtesy of Peter at Chicago Aviation Photography.
	17 Sept, 02..... Firewall Forward Detail
I've had some inquires for additional photos of the firewall forward detail so I finally got around to taking some new photos during the last annual condition inspection. Go there.
	12 Sept, 02..... Bill Brandt Commits Flight in His New BF
Not a whole lot has been going on in the Boredom Fighter world lately although the discussion board seems to be picking up a little. I received a call from Colorado this week and it appears that Bill Brandt's Boredom Fighter finally flew. Rumor has it that it was a short flight but successful. Congratulations Bill!
	12 Jan, 02..... No Real Update
Well, I'm stuck in London on a work assignment at the time, so there won't be any real updates for several weeks.. I guess it doesn't matter that much because it's been raining solid at my home field so the flying is out! Keep using the "Discussion" button on the left side as there's finally been some content that's creeping into the message board. OK, it's slow to pick up but we're getting there. Tommy Thornhill's BF was sold and it's staying in Houston from what I understand. Details to follow.
	27 Nov, 01..... New Baldwin Photos
Frank Baldwin recently sent a couple new inflight photos of his BF, N70FB. These new photos were taken by his friend Robb Gessert of Troy, MO and are some of the best BF photos I've seen. N264JP construction photos are slowly being posted. Over a 7-year period, one acquires a large collection of photos. Since I don't have a digital camera, they all need to be scanned so keep checking back for the latest. It's reported that Tommy Thornhill of Houston,. TX has his BF up for sale. Details can be found in Trade-a-Plane.

	12 Nov, 01..... Updates
I recently received a couple of pictures of Bill Brandt's Boredom Fighter, just about ready for flight. I also set up a page for his particular aircraft, N5147. We'll have more news when Bill finally flys his BF. Click on the above picture to go to the N5147 page.

	30 Oct, 01..... Updates
Finally got around to some updates. Here's the short on the changes: Added three more b&w pictures of Larry Church's BF N5167A. I thought that this BF may be up for sale per a Trade-A-Plane from this past August. Updated a couple of e-mail addresses on the Builders page for Jerry Cornwell and the new owner of N62252, the aircraft built by Doyle Ross in Tucson, AZ. Per conversation with Don Wolf, the prototype BF was donated by Dudley Whitman in Sept 00, to the Kalamazoo Air Museum. Also, per Don he has sold the 316th set of plans to a gentleman in Wales, UK. Don says that he has another 16 sets of plans printed and ready. Plans are still $125 US. Don can be reached at his e-mail: dwolf@optonline.net Replica Fighter Association: The RFA is now accepting membership through the website with a printable membership application. If you're a Boredom Fighter Pilot/ Builder/Owner, or just like the aircraft, the RFA has an active Boredom Fighter Squadron and includes two nice publications annually. If you're interested in replica aircraft, this is worthwhile use of $25. Above left is the cover from the Dec 2000 issue. Click for larger picture.
