Wasn't it just reported here on WIX recently that "Betty Jane" was for sale? I could be mistaken but that is what I remember reading somewhere, most likely right here.

It's not for sale... still is rework at American Aero Services in New Smyrna Beach, FL. Wing is complete and the fuselage is close to complete. It will be repainted before taking to the air again.
