Looking Good! It's nice to see another one going back together. These are sweet airplanes. I've had a blast flying my OY-1 this past year.
Keep up the good work!

I'm gonna ask you a question I get nearly every day with FIFI (and now the B-24A)................
So, exactly what date is it gonna be flying?
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Okay Craig.............
You guys keep making her look THAT good and you'll force us to redo "Gayle Ann"!
Seriously, let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

Ok, lets see if I can answer all the questions:
Gary,
We prdict it will fly when we get it all together and the engine is installed... seriously, we hope to have back in the air mid-summer 2007.
Mike,
We are always looking for more sponsors. All joking aside though, when we get closer to a confirm date of flying it, we may want to send a couple of our guys up there to get checked out in your L-5 to satisfy HQ before we fly ours.

Craig,
Whatever we can do to help. We need to have some sort of "mixer" with both squadrons in 2007. I think it's important for to squadrons so close together to work together as much as possible.
Keep up the great work down your way.

On the When will it fly question. I've used this one as standard for years and I've never had to lie. I just say it should be in the air by the first of the year. I'll bet I've used it 100 times and not once has anyone asked me "what year"?

Is the first of the year a Tuesday?
