The control surfaces for the Florida TBM are being covered by a friend of mine...for what that is worth. I think the ailerons and horizontals are completed.

The Florida CAF site has a newsletter on their site with the latest on the restoration.

The 2 PBYs have been assigned to the Lake Superior Squadron are under long term restoration at the Duluth airport. The Red one should be the first to return to the air.

The PT-22 should be back in the air this summer. I'll try and grab some pictures on my next trip to the Hanger.
