"Now registered N99230, in October 1977 the CASA was ferried across the Atlantic by British warbird pilot Neil Williams for new American owner Dolph Overton..." Dolph Overton as in Korean War ace Dolph Overton? The article seems to miss the relevance of this rather notable owner if so...

Saw it in 2019 although this photo is from a year earlier. Good that it was briefly airborne again, although in a different way. I wonder how the next chapter of its life will play out.

I wonder if this is the 'He 111' for restoration to fly that is mentioned in Air Classics this month

Along with BF110 and Junkers 88

If an He-111 is lumped together with a Ju-88 and Bf-110, I'd guess they were in Europe.
Not many (any) '110 or '88 projects (pipedreams?) in the U.S. but plenty of boxes of rusted/twisted metal purporting to be projects overseas.

No, different one.

Paul Allen's museum has a restored CASA 2.111 resting on her gear without wings in the Vulcan hangar. (Allen's museum owns #167 and #169.) There is an He-111P under restoration to fly in Europe using another CASA, although this project has moved slow for decades.

The only Bf-110 that could be a project is Bf-110C-4 W.Nr. 3577 that was in storage unless that has changed.

There are several static Ju-88 projects. I've not heard of any airworthy project, only rumors that Paul Allen's museum might have a wreck.

It's being reported that the CASA was damaged while being transported to the new location. Apparently there was a traffic accident and the landing gear was heavily damaged. Can anyone confirm if this is true and what the damage is?

Where is that being reported? I'm hearing nothing but crickets here in Dallas.

Oh c'mon!! Looks like it would have been safer to get her flying and ferry her. Really upsetting to hear.

Correct me where I am wrong - I thought Paul Allen's 88 (now Stuart Walton's 88)was being restored to fly and one of the Muzala sons was heading the project ? at one point in the past 5ish years?

oh crap - I am not a German warbird guy - I now see it is the Stuka (87 NOT 88) that they were bringing back to life - my mistake.

A four-wheeler? Wonder what the insurance situation is...
