Thank you kindly

Mike, good question. It is not listed in the registry, and I did not see a mention on the website.

Why on earth is this a secret? Seems pretty ridiculous. Eventually the FAA is going to need a s/n, real or false.

Ok, what kind of s/n is E-8132?

Was this a complete airframe or just a data plate rebuild?

Regardless, when done, she will look amazing next to her sister. Any chance of seeing a D model used by the CF to create the three ship?

I actually saw that number on the tail of a Zero in a photo
but you're right it sounds pretty close. My step-dad had a
nice A-36 (Beech that is).

That sounds like a P-51 serial?
