Most excellent! Has it flown yet and will it be in the same markings as before or something different?

Steve is likely flying her now. Paint scheme will be awesome and is, as most WIX things, secret :P

This is great news, thank you for the heads-up Jim - can't wait to see the decided scheme! I had been checking a particular Flickr account for months now, trying to track its progress as best as possible.:D

With a large Mustang gathering to take place this coming weekend at Chino, there looks to be quite a variety of the type - correct me if I am wrong, but I think "Princess Elizabeth" has already been at Chino for a little while now - so perhaps A-36, P-51A, P-51C, and D models! That, and if Mike Coutches' P-51H is flown in...

You are a tease, James.

Can anyone steer me towards updated pics of Collings A-36? American Aero hasn't updated on their site since last fall.
