4 currently flying, and very soon to be 6. The 4 are Glacier Girl, 23 Skidoo, Jack Croul's, and Ron Fagen's. The soon to be airframes are Putt Putt (if she hasn't already) and White Lightnin'.

Thanks for the updates, Erik, and congrats to all involved. Nothing quite like meeting a deadline. :wink:

Any idea what day she's planning to fly down here?

Amazing looking! Not to far away from a 4 to 5 ship formation soon!

Going back to the first page, can you find that Tiger T-shirt? It looks more appealing than the usually overdone warbird shirts out there. You guys know what I'm talking about. :roll:

I really need to start a warbird-wear clothes line. Involving shirts like that one, and reproduction factory work shirts.

I think it would be entirely appropriate to make Lightnings the theme of next years "Thunder Over Michigan..." 8)

Either that or "Allisons" P-40's and P-38's, and maybe a P-39 or too. 8)
