Here's fun topic for speculators. What aircraft should fly in 2006 that are currently finishing up restoration.

Warhawk Air Museum A/B/C Mustang?
Jack Roush's B/C Mustang?
3rd Me 262?
Oscar(s) ? finally
Kermit's P-12?
FHC's Jug?
FHC's B-25
FHC's FW-190
Spitfires?
Hurricanes?
How about anything out of New Zealand?
Gerry Beck's A model Mustang
FHC's Zero

Could be an exciting year.

Warhawk Air Museum P-51 C will fly in 2006. We've been moving ahead with the help of lots of people.

I don't know about that one. Have they found a third buyer? I know when I was there the fuselages had be built and the wings for airframe #3 were well underway. Are they still working on any of the Me-262s or are they working on the 109s full time now?

Have either of the new 262's gotten air under their wings since delivery to their new owners, if in fact both have been delivered?

Last I heard they were both 'on their way' to the respective owners. The one destined for Germany definitely hasn't flown in that country.

The Dixie Wing's LT-6 and L-16 will both fly in 2006. We hope to have the LT-6 flying in the first few months. If anybody is interested, we are currently looking for flying sponsors for both aircraft.

Possibly two Spitfires from Historic Flying:

MkVC JG891
MkXVI RW386

Another Spit, a MkIX, should fly next year (if not before then, since it was recently undergoing engine runs) - Peter Monk's TA805.
