Scott, one possible quickie for you. I noticed in the Fiat G.59 registry the lack of of Jerry Yagen's MM53778, c#185 which reportedly is being converted to G.55, tho there is an oddity in registrations. The ex-Zuccoli G.59 formerly VH-LIX, now D-FIAT, MM3772, c#179 came out of Meier's restoration with NC185 painted on it rather than NC179. Might stand-by on some clarification from those folks? Like you got nuthin' else to do... :D Regardless of all that, MM53778 is not there and VH-LIX is now D-FIAT.
Thanks for all you do Scott!


I'll put it on the to do list
:drink3:

No discrepancies about these two Mustangs. The only similarity is that they both wear the name "Sizzlin Liz". You have added an entry in the registry for the late Ted Contri's N51HR, but have added the photos of Dave Marco's N351DM. Curtis entries at Mustangsmustangs are as good as gold for this pair of 51s.

Went to update Dottie Mae, ended up messing up some code and in order to unbreak i it had to update all the code. Luckily it's a small registry :)

Now on to updating some P-51 entries (thanks John and Chris) then Thursday I start on the B-17 Flying Fortress registry.

Scott, let me know when u start the B-17 registry, please

B-17 code upgrade is almost complete, then I'll see about updating the entries with what info I have. I'm camping next week so after that I'll start updating the entries.
