I have to go with "Doc". It'll be great to have two B-29s in the air, finally giving Fi Fi some company. Now if Kermit Weeks could ever restore Fertile Myrtle to airworthy I'll be in heaven. :)

When was Kermit's B-24 last flown? Is that essentially airworthy...or is it in need of a lot of attention before it can fly (as if an airworthy B-24 doesn't need a lot of attention)? What's the story behind this bird...

I heard there was some question about its general condition maybe 10 years ago (a guess). I think it hasn't flown sense.

Rob? This was one of David T's birds correct?

C-GKAO, one of our three Beavers, still hasn't taken to the skies, even after 2 years and a half of work on her.
