True but, as he says, Kermit would really to go some to reach 1000hrs on it, even if Richard gets the thing airborne in the next year or two. A trip up to Oshkosh and back from Polk City probably would only amass 10 to 15 hours I'd imagine.

I trust Kermit will fly the thing at a UK display or two before shipping it home. Assuming it does come here for restoration. Roll on Part 3...

Interspersed with his purchase and relocation of The Cosmic Muffin... anyone got some B-17 wings to spare? How come I didn't see that when I went on a boat tour of the Fort Lauderdale waterways 30 years ago...
