Stop by American Aero Services last month and here are some shots from the facilities. B-24 is still there.

Collings B-24 Witchcraft. The hangar was not "open" that day and it is being stored at American Aero.

This is the P-40N originally restored by Chris Kirchner over at the Leeward Air Ranch several years ago...

Glad they fixed the 'flattened nose' of the B-17 from that storm. I still miss seeing her at the Evergreen museum when I go there...

Any updates on the Catalinas/Cansos? Is work progressing on the Collings PBY-5A?

If you clicked on the link and scrolled through the pics you would have seen the P-40.

Big Grey - do you mean the PBY with the blue shroud over the bow/cockpit? If so, that is not the ex-Biggin Hill N423RS which I understand is not actually with American Aero but is parked on a lot adjacent to their facility. It shows the Collings Foundation former Canso A N983CF which is for sale as they now have the former PBY-5A N459CF, ex-PH-PBY. Or have I missed a photo?
