I guess you could say the Yellow Rose (N25YR) is just completing a mechanical restoration. This was a major IRAN from nose to tail. If the carb comes in Monday or Tuesday, and the run-up goes well, and the weather cooperates, she should fly next week (21-26 SEP 09). Then we'll start working on some of the cosmetics.

If I'm not mistaken, there's a Mitchell under restoration at the Alberta Aviation Museum. (B-25J 44-30791 - RCAF 5273)

I think it's just a fuselage and centre wing section at the moment, but I had heard it was under long term restoration.
