The 12th annual “Mustangs and Mustangs” show will be at Fantasy of Flight, 11 April 09. Visit here for details.

Check out the new layout of American Aero Services website. It looks awesome.

Not sure who has taken over the Marketing Department at the Fantasy of Flight Museum, but they are doing one heck of a job. The eNews emails have been coming out again as well spot announcements about is going on at the museum.  Whomever you are, keep up the great work!

In the latest eNews, the following was added:

“Secrets from the Maintenance Hangar
(The large white building across the field)

We all know that Allison engines are legendary for getting airplanes off the ground. Now the engines themselves are finally off the ground. The Fantasy of Flight Aircraft Department have just constructed massive pallet racks (civilians call them “shelves”) that have lifted 24 factory-fresh (60-plus years ago) Allisons off the ground—creating much needed floor space for more airplane maintenance. Check this space next month for further aircraft maintenance adventures. (Rumor has it that the Polikarpov 2 will be taking wing soon, but let’s keep that between us…)”

Lets hope that the Po-2 takes to the air soon.

My son and I travelled up to Sanford to see the North American A-5 Vigilante on display at the Sanford International Airport, which at one point was known as the Sanford Naval Air Station.The A-5 is BuNo 156632 and is displayed as an aircraft from RVAH-3. The aircraft came from China Lake.

Hope you enjoy the photo spread. Stills can be found here.
