We've been spoiled the last few years...

Kermit just announced on Facebook that the A-26 will NOT be at Oshkosh this year.

I see it nosed into the Aero Trader hangar most every day so it is actively being worked on.

Saw Kermit's post too. Disappointing but I can't blame him. If the plane isn't ready or he doesn't feel ready to fly her that distance, better to wait another year. I get the sense he's a "if the vibe isn't right, I'm out" kind of guy. Which again I can't blame. It is his plane. And heck, its taken 30+ years to restore. Whats another year?

scratch Kermit's A-26, he said it needs more tweaking before it is ready.

Very bummed to hear this - hopefully something else steps up in its place.

Buffalo was trying to bring a plane, however with the fires keeping them busy we may not see them.

Appreciate the update, Chris!

But since when do you have enough time in July to lurk WIX? You should be power napping.
