My mechanic flew out about a week ago to check on the projects out there. This info is second hand so I am passing on the info as best as I recall. Howard's Bearcat is structurally repaired. They said the only hold up in completion is moving it to the front of the line. Lew Shaw's Pinto jet is back and pulled apart. Not sure why it is apart again. P-51 "Crusader" is progressing well with the second set of controls added to the rear seat. Seafire work has slowed with it stuffed in the corner. The biggest news is that they are jigging off of the Heritage Collection Corsair so that they can rebuild Howards #68 Corsair AND Cavanaugh's old wrecked Corsair!!! Evidently a company stepped forward and said they wanted BOTH rebuilt! Last I heard was that they were going to use the two wrecks and make one. Someone with enough money must want two! Interesting news....
