it's in a hanger for some rutine service,and if you went there you would have to find the hanger and talk to one of the mechanics.

it's next to the vee-neal hanger. i'm sure they would let you walk around it. when i was there last they had all the panels off the nose.the mechanic said it would be there all week.

that's all the info i know about it.

the plane will be here for the westmoreland county airshow,along with a yak-3 trainer.if you don't get to see it this week you can see it then.

roofer2k@cs.com <----e-mail me if you really really want to see it bad i may be able to meet you and take you in.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I saw a Yak-9U at the Watsonville Airshow (CA) two weekends ago. It was painted bright red and brought a tear to my eye. The thing was beautiful. Unfortunetly he wasn't flying it during the airshow that day. I read on the side of the Yak that the guy is out of Half Moon Bay, CA. I think I need to pay the HMB airport a visit.  :)

Also saw a P-51A, several P-51D's, a Hawker Sea Fury and a B-17. What a great day that was.
