From Facebook (link):
"Big News from FHCAM!
Our Junkers Ju 87 Stuka is wrapped up and ready to head to a new facility to continue its restoration to flight status.
This iconic dive bomber will soon be leaving FHCAM. While we haven’t nailed down a departure date just yet, we’re thrilled to see this project take its next big step forward.
Stay tuned for updates!"

Great news! When the Stuka is flying and the P-61 is done, they will be two of the greatest restorations done.

Timing was amazing. I had just finished the AC article in the new issue about the Collings Stuka, when I got a text about this post on FB an hour later. Great news. Announced same day as White 1’s first engine runs , great day for the Luftwaffe.

Never thought I’d agree with “Great day for the Luftwaffe”

Fantastic news! It will be interesting to see which restoration shop has the honors of finishing the rebuild. If it ever makes any public flights in the US, I will be there.

I do not see any website or public info for The Roost but it has existed for several years. I just hope that they give occasional updates and maybe allow visitors now and then.
