The L18 was run up, flight tested and then flew off into the wide blue yonder.

Any ideas where?

Yes actually, my dad is ferrying it to somewhere in Florida. They left this weekend and made it through Nebraska, then had to shut down the right engine due to low oil pressure over Arkansas, were trouble shooting the problem yesterday afternoon. Thats the update so far. Looks like weather might hold them up a day or so.

The C-82 is home:

HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- A vintage military plane is back in the city where it was born. The C-82 Flying Boxcar touched down yesterday at Hagerstown Regional Airport. The plane was built at Hagerstown's Fairchild plant during World War Two and was purchased for 140-thousand dollars in August by the Hagerstown Aviation Museum.

The C-82 was designed to haul troops and equipment. It was greeted yesterday by about 200 aviation enthusiasts and people who worked at Fairchild.
