[K225]

The wings have arrived for the Vintage Wings of Canada Spitfire IX Y2-K being restored in Comox see blog here: http://vintagewingsofcanada.blogspot.co ... rrive.html
But it looks like it will be a while before its ready.
The VWoC Hurricane XII was tentaively scheduled for 2013 still awaits the completed outer wings.

The VAC TBM will be flying in 2012.

The Florida CAF TBM may get done but it may drag in to 2013.

Chris K in Ocala thinks his P-40 should be done by the fall of 2012.

Fantasy of Flight's A-26 may be done in 2012.

According to a Warbird Radio interview, the FHC A6M Zero is due to participate in the 2012 flying season.

There sure are lots of interesting projects out there.

The A26 at the Indiana Military Museum should be completed in 2012.

wonder how the PB4Y-2 at the Lone Star Flight Museum is coming along?

[Sgt13Echo]

I plan on restoring my Ju-87 sometime next year.

It's a 1/48 scale and my way of keeping' the dream alive that one day it will come true.

As far as I am aware..the wings have been there for a while..they are jsut waiting for space and man power to get it all assembled.

The CaSA and a few other aircraft are in a hangar across the taxiway last time I was there. The Cavanaugh folks have run out of room with their marvelous collection.

[CAPFlyer]

The delay in getting their new building approved and funded has hurt Cavanaugh a lot. With the B-24 and B-29 based at the museum, they lost a lot of overflow room in their South Hangar and their ability to make more room for projects like the Goose and P-47 without "displacing" some of the collection.

I know that the guys over there will figure it out, but I do hope that the City can get behind them and help them get their new complex built in the next 2-3 years because they deserve to have a showpiece to match the gems in the collection.

Don't forget Taigh's PV-2D!

Any projects at Pima getting close?

For the CAF Avenger...are you talking about the one Jack Kosko is restoring? IIRC, it's being restored in Maryland near the MD/PA state line? They seem to be making good progress on getting the plane together.

SaxMan, That is the Avenger I was referring to. Screwed up on the location. There's a great thread on this TBM restoration here:
