Maybe after the Hellcat gets a new paint job.

I got a ? for the LSFM.
When she is restored to flying status. Will she tour ? Being a one of a kind flying that is. I bet that she would draw a crowd


"Touring" as we used to know it is over. Fuel costs for the big aircraft have surpassed the availability/ability of sponsors and FBO's to support such things. Ramp space at most FBO's now is needed for paying jets. It's sad, but true. Passenger ride experiences are about the only way to take the big iron on the road and I wonder how long that will last.
I had a conversation with one of the guys from "Liberty Bell" at OSH reference the trip to Europe. They paid $23/gal in Scotland. A full load at that price is over $62,000.

Touring would be cool 8) Specially if she could be hooked up with 927 and a B-17, and when the PBJ comes on line 8)


I could almost guarantee you that if it did travel, it would be with other LSFM airplanes, not "competition" for dollar airplanes.
