On other fronts, what about all of the working be done in Australia for both Kermit and Jerry Yagen? I know sometime back Kermit posted a photo of Jerry's KI-61 with some other stuff in the background. I'd be interested to see the progress of the P-39 in Aus. as well.

I've not been to Precision Aerospace for a while. Must really, and it'd be good to do an update for a well known warbird magazine. From my last visit, which was quite a while ago, earlier this year, we should see some good stuff from Wangaratta. Nothing looked like it was going to be ready 'tomorrow' but 2013 is perfectly possible if some speed was added to one or another of the projects ongoing there.

Regards,

doesn't the Japanese name for the Tony translate as lightning?

No, Hien means swallow (the bird). Shiden means lightning but I don't think he has an N1K!

Thanks August
I didn't think his Tony was that far along. Yagens is closer.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see

Thanks for the Info JDK. Always much appreciated, thank you for the quick response. I know I'm rather partial to Jerry's collection, as its 20 minutes from my house :). I know the Mossy should be here hopefully for the Warbirds Over The Beach show(fingers crossed).

No problem Travis. The Mosquito is something else, and well worth travelling to see. Let's hope for a Wangaratta update in early 2013!

Regards,
