The B model is being assembled at Cal-Pacific in Salinas Ca., the flight controls, flaps and tail surfaces are being assembled by American Aero in New Smyrna Beach Fl. It will probably be a very late 2004 early 2005 flyer.

Last year we recieved the fuselage and wing for Jacks D model from Cal-Pacific and assembled the plane. Glen Wegman came up and did our first test flights in July of 03 and we delivered it to Michigan that August.

In a couple of days you'll be able to go to our web site and see new Paul Bowin photos of the Mustang.

: Hi All,
:
: I want to start by thanking all of you who have been s
: o kind, and have said prayers, for my Dad, and my family,
: it means so very much to me, and I am so pleased to report
: that the prayers are working!!
:
: Wow! Time certainly does fly doesn't it?! It will be a
: year next month since my Dad was dagnosed with Pancreatic
: Cancer. He had a checkup yesterday, and he is doing great
: ! The Cancer hasn't spread, and the tumor is a bit smaller
: than before. For any of you who have had any experience w
: ith Pancreatic Cancer, you know that this is truly miracul
: ous! He just had surgery for a hernia on December 18th, (t
: he day after my 14 year old broke his arm), and he has a m
: ild cataract he needs removed, but other than that he is d
: oing very well. He will celebrate his 78th Birthday in May
: .
:
: My husband, Charlie, was sent to Combat training in Fl
: orida, on January 2nd. He has 29 years of Service, both Ac
: tive, and Guards, so we are hoping this is not a precursor
: of things to come.
:
: In early December my dog, (whom the Vet told me, six y
: ears ago, was spayed, delivered 3 puppies. Anybody want a
: puppy??
:
: My party favor / business items / custom apparel busin
: ess, continues to grow steadily. I have kept it all on-lin
: e, and have been overwhelmed with the amount of orders I h
: ave been receiving. I'm still planning on adding War Bird
: designs, I just haven't had time to create much, except fo
: r a few Business card designs. My web address is: www.fanc
: ifavors.com if any of you are curious.
:
: Now, for my question....as many of you know, Jack Roush
: , purchased the pieces of my Uncle's P-51 B, 43-12252, wi
: th plans of rebuilding her. It has been over a year since
: I heard she was in California, being rebuilt by a well kno
: wn? Rebuilder. As I said, it has been awhile, and my memor
: y isn't what it used to be. Anyway, has anyone heard anyth
: ing about her? I remember being told that their was talk o
: f taking a storyboard of her original origins, complete wi
: th the pictures of her from Bartow in 1944, and the story
: of Dean's service, and the crash. Any info will be very gr
: eatly appreciated!
:
: Hopefully, I will be able to get caught back up on what
: is new in the Warbird world. I have truly missed you guys

: Best wishes always,
