Is Diamond Lil flying again?

[Steve Nelson]

Hi all,

I was just checking the website, and Lil is scheduled to be in Pontiac, Michigan next month. The rides are showing as "sold out." Does that mean she's touring again? I haven't seen her in person since before Gary's big 2006 makeover.

Thanks!

As of this morning, the plan was to lower Lil off the jacks tomorrow. Flying should take place next week, weather permitting.

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing her again!

A friend working on Diamond Lil posted pictures this morning of the B-24 out in the sunlight and said they were fueling her in anticipation of running her in the next few days.

Please do keep posting updates, I imagine there are a few of us out here who love good ol' Lil/927.

Does Lil still have those brass plaques on the machine guns with the donors' names? Quite a few WIXers there including yours truly .

Chris, I saw a brass plaque on at least one of the machine guns.
