: Hi Jim,
:
:I have not confirmed everything, but this was from several reliable sources...
That the airframe was being sent to Westpac, Rialto, Ca.
A replacement right wing was taken out of storage.... this was the other wing from the spare N airplane that was later sold, minus wings... the left panel had been used to rebuild the plane in the 70's when on a test flight in Florida and the engine failed on final.
There was supposed to be a hearing to determine which insurance company had to cover the cost of damages...
Hopefully there will be an official news release.. Alan
