Dan--

Wow! Excellent news. Hm. How about the Shack instead of "Fifi" at Thunder Over Michigan...or maybe at next year's Thunder, in company with her elder sister from Mt.Hope...?? :roll:

Very interesting news. I wonder what the plans for this beast are?

Well lets just hope.....

That the folks whom get it to see it flies do appreciate..... :roll:

After all there is only 4 Griff's with the contra-rotating gear to maintain........

Not mentionning the rest of the gear of course.

Cheers to the folks footing up the hours & the $'ssssss

Great,
Is this the same airplane we saw at Aerospace America a few years back?

What a neat machine!
