TSUNAMI RESTORERS SEEK HELP
Sharon Sandberg is launching a fundraising campaign to restore Tsunami, the first original homebuilt unlimited air racer since 1939, to flyable condition. Sharon is the daughter of Tsunami's late owner, John Sandberg. Sharon estimates that approximately $600,000 is necessary to rebuild Tsunami. Once flyable, the initial plans call for Tsunami to make a tour of aviation events and museums before settling into a permanent home at an aviation museum. Learn more at www.RebuildTsunami.org.
