Jim Harley posted a picture of Nine-o-Nine's new tail at his webshots photo album. Here is a link for the picture:

The tail looks like Chyenne style?

While parked at an airport they had a big thunderstorm come through, and the wind pushed it into something and damaged the tail. :(

So it's a Cheyenne tail now instead of the stock Boeing tail (hand made by Tom Reilly) that it had before. By Suzy Q do y'all mean Kermit Weeks 44-83525?

yep...we "borrowed" Kermits tail from Susy Q whilst ours is sent off to American Aero for repair. It will be reinstalled during our 6 week break. The guys at AA really deserve a huge thanks for getting this tail cleaned up and painted in such a short period of time. Wayne had it changed out in a matter of hours and it looks really good.
