Check this out and if he can't do it, you don't need it. We need many more like him in this business. You may know him or of him but he flies beneath the radar screen.

Also better check this lead as well.

Just passing on news you need to know.

I believe they're two seperate individuals associated with those businesses.

American Aero Svcs (Gary Norville) restored Jack Roush's 2nd P-51 Gentleman Jim and they're pretty renown in the business.

The second one looks like Mr. Glenn Wegman who "regularly" contributes here and on MustangsMustangs.com and is well known in warbird circles as well.

It appears that they collaborate together.

Yes, the first link is Glenn's business and the second was an example of his talents as a test pilot.

If you view Aero's website, it appears that they did the final assembly of Jack's plane from restored components shipped to them. I wonder who rebuilt all the major bits. Did they do that as well but at some other location?

I think Art Teeters did a lot of the work on it.
