Has anyone seen this restoration lately? Status, recent pics, etc. I'll have to take a road trip out there someday, when the weather settles.

I spent some time talking with Austin (the man in the photos) at the Tallichet memorial. Darn, I didn't know that was there I could have asked.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the project now.

Thanks for posting those photos AIRIC.

Progress looks better than I initially thought. I find it interesting that it was moved. I would like to know more about that. I need to get up there and have a look around. I hope progress begins again before too long. It will be a highlight on the air show circuits for certain.

Just like any other deal that Air Heritage gets. They take it from a basket case to a great project nearing completion, and then it gets moved from their place to someone else. The poor guys there never get to display a whole airplane.
