Now that our replacement C-54 is back in action (Currently at the paint shop), We turned our focus back to the C-97. We have recently made a deal for spares. It may take a while, but our next agenda item is replacing the #2 engine and getting the Angel back in the air where she belongs. It was quite a costly deal, so a major fundraising campaign will be undertaken soon.
We are working on our newsletter where we will make offical announcements about all this stuff.
