Couldn't find anything relevant on the Facebook link. Hopefully the Lib will be up and running and back on tour soon.

So both B-24s aren't flying now? Someone told me that Diamond Lil was still down from the nose gear collapse back in May in Charlotte.

I know this sort of thing is unpredictable, but if anybody from the Foundation sees this - any idea on how long you'll be there? I'm going to be in the area Friday and would love to stop by.

CF just posted a picture on their face book page of the new engine sitting in front of Witchcraft and ready to be installed. :drink3:
