Man things move fast up there, I was there around the time of the Walsh and the Dove hadnt been started, looked like a real wreck. The Ag Cat wasnt in there either. Was the little FW190 still there?

Yup. I was talking to one of the guys doing the renovation work. The sign writers are coming in soon to complete the outer. He was saying that while the Devon wont fly again, they have got 2 engines running so hope to have her taxiing behind the DAK when it arrives for the NAC celebrations. The cockpit is intact but minus a number of dials etc, they are working on that. The interior will have 4 seats on one side, the rest kept clear for people to move more freely inside.

Oooops made an ass of myself there. I should have known that. <_<

I quite like the look of that FW190, I object to microlites in principle but that is pretty cool, it actually looks like a real one thats shrunk.

Love the strearman, I think it's my all time favourite Bi-Plane. I really wish someone would paint it in the colours of the Utterly Butterly display team (wingwalkers from the UK) for fs.
