"First Flights" for 2006

[JimH]

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.

3rd Me 262?

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?

Carnac the Magnificent says P-40B.

Lone Star Flight Museum will be displaying a new Hurricane restoration in Spring of 2006. The paint shop is currently awaiting it's arrival from Colorado...

[Elwyn]

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?

[DaveM2]

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.

Tom, I saw the nose skin/art of Doc at a booth at ICAS but nothing else in the booth, I was some what confused at what it was there for. I wish I would have tryed to find someone to talk to.

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.

Hi,

What's the identity of the Dixie Wing LT-6 ?

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.

[tom d. friedman]

the p-12 has my vote!!

[Mike]

FHC's Hurricane.

TFC's Gladiator.

BDK, any info on when Steve Hinton's Bearcat is expected to fly?

Oh, and of course there's the Vulcan!
