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.

One day I'll get that P-40!

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

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.

I took a couple of pixs of the Cavanaugh P-47N restoration in October ......





What puzzeled me after I'd left was ~ where was the Casa 2111 ?

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.

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!

"Yes sir, it's suppose to look like that"

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:
