So which would be the other Mosquito? The Weeks example already there?
I imagine they mean Yagen’s

If Rod brings the Mossy, what are the chances the Havoc shows up?
2 Tigercats last year and none this year? wtf
Is the Minnesota F-82 that close to flight?

Can you confirm that about SNF? It’s advertising this:

He's right. No Rod planes at Sun N Fun so far. Rumor there is Lewis's corporation was having some losses where he fired some managers and also suspended all airshow flying. Hopefully it will resume for Oshkosh, but highly doubtful they are coming to Sun N Fun if they aren't there yet.
Sun N Fun is famous for the Their Bait and No Show tactics, so I am sure they will remain on the schedule. Just like the XP-82 that isn't coming either. They will keep advertising it even after the person says they aren't coming to try to get people to show up or buy tickets. they did the a few years back when they advertised a Super Hornet, but the Navy had no one trained on them and they previously canceled Titusville and MacDill Air Show, but Sun N Fun still showed them on the schedule up until the day. Almost surprised they didn't try to pull the Thunderbirds were still coming last year after the crash, but pretty much everyone knew the Thunderbirds season was put on hold for a few weeks.

Just curious...hope it is not going to be an off year for EAA AirVenture (if there is such a thing).

What if the XP-82 sells and relocates out of the country before Oshkosh?! Though the thought of a new owner not having it there to almost certainly win Grand Champion seems almost counter productive, it is a possibility... The idea came from corresponding with the restoration team about their pins and patches. I inquired about paying for them in advance and picking them up at Airventure. The reply was basically if it sells, they wont be there and the aircraft may not be either...
