I used to be stationed at Patrick, and would visit a couple of times a year. The new facility looks great, looks like there is lots of interesting stuff to see.

Hard to believe that soon a 190 will once again grace the skies after so many years.
Nice to see you guys have recovered so well also.

Hey, forget the T-6s. I'll fly the Soloy Bell 47. That would be lots of fun.

Matt,
The hangar that used to be Flying Tigers Museum is now owned by Mr. Blair, you can see it in the picture. The airport environment has been cleaned up considerably in the last three years.

I think the intent is to fill it up with WWII fighters at some point.

That's quite a stash of spare Fw bits..especially those Jumo engines!

Is White 1 gonna fly with an original BMW, or a Russian engine like the Flugwerk birds?

They have an original BMW 801 at Vintage V-12s being restored. It will be an amazing thing to hear one day!
It is an all original airframe and powerplant and will not be a replica at all. Flug-werk parts do not interchange with original parts from WWII.
