Right now Mr. Lane has three Corsairs that he's working on - all FG-1D's.

The Gary Kohs project is still awaiting completion. This is the plane that's been at the shop for about ten years now. It's a long term project that is being completed a little at a time as finances allow. Unless it is sold, I doubt this one will be rolling out any time in the very near future.

Secondly is the Olympic Flight Museum Corsair (ex-CWH) that is being refurbished. I'm not sure exactly what they are having done other than a general IRAN. Brad Pilgrim could probably afford us a few more details on this one. I'm pretty sure it's destined to lose its RNFAA paint scheme in the process though.

The third peoject belongs to Frank Arrufat. He invested about 6500 hours in this one himself before hauling it up to Lane's place for completion. Of the three, this one seems to be getting the lion's share of the attention.
