Our latest, a 3 year project comes to fruition:

The interior is also fully restored, and this aircraft will be open on our next open cockpit day, May 24, 2015.

Great looking Stoof- nice job by the team!

Out of curiosity, are all the big old B-52 hangers at Castle all filled up with other aviation/non-avaition industries?

Thanks! It was an all around team effort, and a year ahead of schedule.

Most of the hangers are filled, with both aviation and non, but mostly aviation related. I think there's one ginourmous hanger out there that held at least 3 B-52's that's still empty. Many of the other buildings are filled with commercial / industrial / government stuff. Even some of the housing is being used.

It is looking very good, went on a tour Saturday, and got to see it first hand, excellent job.

Looks great. I always liked the looks of the Tracker, reminds me of an A-20. If were to own any non-WWII warbird I would probably want to own one of these (or maybe an E-1, that would be cool too)

Well done, looks like a very well done restoration.
