Long range forecasts make it look like it may be a hot one this year!

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.

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.
