CAF Twin Mustang

I recieved an official press release while at the CAFs Midland Airsho concerning the state of the CAFs P-82. It has been traded for David Price's P-38 that is now in Camarillo, CA and has just been restored. The trade also included the wreck of "Skatterbrain Kid 2" P-38. (You can see the wreckage picture on the Registry for that airplane) The new owner is undisclosed and wants to remain in secrecy at this point. I am quite certain that the the trade was not direct, meaning to David Price. It was probably a 3-way trade where the new owner purchased the Price P-38 and then traded it for the CAFs P-82 and the other P-38 wreck. I hope the P-82 is in good hands now and the restoration will be accelerated.
I also hope to one day see this P-82 fly in formation with the one at C&P Aviation under restoration, "Doc" fly with "Fifi", the CAFs two P-63s fly together, and Mike Rawsons SB2C fly with the CAFs.
