Any chance for an end of the year update? We haven't seen anything since September.

To all of our faithful followers.
I apologize for the infrequent updates but with expanded wing duties and a host of other activities in my life I hope you can forgive.
I started this post 9 years ago! I am in my 14th year of working on this wonderful aircraft. Yesterday we completed our weight and balance. Tomorrow we will bring her out for some taxi and system checks. We are just a few DAYS away from flight!
As soon as that date is certain I will let folks know. Also guys and gals our website is updated almost every day. You can follow us there. Check it out.

Dan,
I want to Thank you for keeping this thread alive! I have been following it from the beginning and lived update to update. It even convinced me to drive from San Diego to Camarillo when I was in California on business to see the progress and aircraft of the SOCAL wing. I was very impressed. I hope all goes well and the aircraft flies for many years to come to honor the Navy/Marines vets that flew the PBJ during the war.
I hope I can see it fly one day, any plans to bring it to Oshkosh since the CAF tries to have a good showing at these event?
So what is the next project the SOCAL wing is going to take on? Keep the momentum going!
Thanks again
Eric
