The Spar ends that you talk about Ryan according to the FAA AD the parts have to be made new that is why its taking so long to get the job done. I remeber when Nine-O-Nine had its wings done the FAA took a look at the way Collings did it and decided that was the only safe way to do it.

As for Daves plane I talk to him last wek and he hopes to have it flying by early Spring.

As for recoving this C forget it I try to get permission in the mid-90's and was flat out told by Dept. of Interior to get lost. their is another Shark tail that could be recovered but right now I would like to keep its location to myself all I can say its not in the Pacific.

Cheers Rob
