It is definately affecting the flying examples. Texas Raiders is currently having the work done to it and will be down for quite some time. Chuckie I hear hasnt had any of the work done therefore it is confined to its hangar. Evergreen's B-17 has been inside their new museum since it opened. I don't know if the work has been performed on it. Aluminum Overcast is flying along with Nine O Nine, Sentimental Journey and Thunderbird so I assume the work on them has been completed although I'm not sure when the job must be completed. According to a previous post on this forum, Tallichet's Memphis Belle is having the work done in Canada and will be flying soon. Fuddy Duddy is grounded because they hardly have the money to keep their doors open much less perform the work. I dont know what is happening with Boeing Bee. Anyone know if it's flying?
