Many thanks for posting, Phil!

Any owner speculation on when she might have air under her wings again (other than "Thursday" lol)?

I talked to the owner for a few minutes. He seemed like he wanted to get her flying as soon as possible, but he didn't mention any new owner. I was a little surprised they were putting so much effort into her after Labor Day. I would think he would want to start working on her in the spring and have her flying for the fly-in..

Shocking,
