Warbird Information Exchange

I was wondering if anybody had any info about a couple of aircraft at POF.

1. How is the restoration on the Original Val going? Is there any photos.

2. What is the current situation with there replica Val? Does anybody know if they would possibly sell it? I don’t have the money but i wish i did.

3. What is going on with that Ryan Fireball that seems to always pop up in pictures taken at the facility? Is it going to fly? PLEASE SAY YES!

4. I've seen recently that POF plans on putting the Hispano 109 they used in Pearl Harbor back in the air. But what about the BF-109 out at the Arizona Facility? Is it slated for any work, or is it going to continue its extended vacation in the sunny state?

Any information would be appreciated.

SLOW!!!!! I'll try and get some pictures and post them

2. What is the current situation with there replica Val? Does anybody know if they would possibly sell it? I don’t have the money but i wish i did.
For the right amount of money....anything is for sale It's currently in residence in Valle

3. What is going on with that Ryan Fireball that seems to always pop up in pictures taken at the facility? Is it going to fly? PLEASE SAY YES!
I have not heard any plans to make her flyable - just a really good looking static display.

4. I've seen recently that POF plans on putting the Hispano 109 they used in Pearl Harbor back in the air. But what about the BF-109 out at the Arizona Facility? Is it slated for any work, or is it going to continue its extended vacation in the sunny state?
The restoration on the Hispano is moving along nicely. We built a nifty little jig to work on the wings. There has never been any talk of making the BF-109 flyable. I think it will continue to be a static display in Valle.

Thanks Cindy.

Info appreciated.
