I have kind of lost track. Has this move taken place yet or is it still a work in progress?

The CAF HQ is pretty much fully operational at Dallas Executive Airport.

The CAF is at Dallas Exec, but Diamond Lil isn't. She's grounded in the VFM hangar with two failed engines (#3 and #4). :(

They got her airborne and out of here? I must have missed that. Haven't been over to the hangar in a month or two.
Just saw a Tora Zero replica take off from my office window. Not bad!

Watched her fly out of SPS earlier, followed not long after by the Thunderbirds. Just sad that I didn't get to be up here for the show.
