Kermit Weeks has gotten his TP-40N flying again after sitting for the past 4 years. Work was needed on the landing gear system as this aircraft had a landing gear not retract. Weeks previously had a landing gear failure on his other P-40 and decided to install a secondary system to the TP-40N.

The new Collings Foundation North American TF-51D Mustang being restored at American Aero Services will be named “Toulouse Nuts.” According to the Collings Founcation, “The Foundation’s TF-51D is one of three original TF-51Ds remaining in the world. This fighter will be painted in its original markings as a West Virginia Air Guard, 167th Fighter Squadron P-51.”
