If you have on your bucket list, the desire to design a paint scheme for a P-51, here is your chance.
If you have on your bucket list, the desire to design a paint scheme for a Reno Air Racer, here is your chance.
Thom is offering a chance for you to do just that. Rules are listed below.
The Florida Wing Commemorative Air Force has updated their website to include the latest newsletters. Of interest, is the following from the Fall 2012 newsletter that included the Wing’s meeting minutes:
“TBM sale – Colonel Foley is working with a private party who may be interested in purchasing the TBM. He has refrained from offering it to a broker or other Warbird collectors until he receives a firm reply from the private party. As an aside, I noted that the Heritage of Flight museum here in Washington did not have a TBM in their collection. I went ahead and made an overture to their curator but was informed that Mr. Paul Allen has repeatedly declined TBM offers in the past and was not interested in purchasing a TBM.”
Looks like they are trying to sell the TBM that they have been working on for the past couple of years.
Want to work on a P-51? Want to work on an air racer? Here is your chance.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The annual winter rebuild of Precious Metal started today. If you’d like to join in the efforts of an Unlimited team, please e-mail thom@race83.com
Though we have all required skills on the team already, the following would come in handy: Composite, sheetmetal and bondo/paint. Although the only real requirement is enthusiasm. We can train anyone… 
The airplane is located at the Kissimmee Air Museum in central Florida.
Thanks!
American Aero Services will host an Open Hangar Day on 5 January at the New Symnra Beach Airport starting at 9 AM. The Collings Foundation’s B-17, B-24 and P-51 will be on display along with military vehicles.
Also, Florida Sport Aviation Antique and Classic Association (FSAACA) has been invited to attend so expect a few fly-ins.
The Colling’s Foundation posted this on their Facebook page today. If you are in the Tallahassee area and can help, respond as requested.
“Is there anyone in the Tallahassee FL area that could help spread the word of the Wings of Freedom tour coming to town? Send email to Hunter – hchaney@collingsfoundation.org
Happy New Year All ~”
