Hiya, Mustangdriver, are there any updates regarding renovation?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Yeah, any new updates MD? And, Starman, you have Mustang (read this at the beginning of the thread)? I didn't know that, not to hijack MD's thread, but you got any pics and how long have you had it?

I am going through everythign with a lawyer right now. It looks like this is a go. I just wn ated to make sure it was on the up and up before I put some money in to it. The way it is going to work, I am going to have the aircraft put in to a flyable condition, ferry it back to Pittsburgh, adn then carry out the restoration. She is in a hangar right now.

Thanks, MD, keep us posted.

Allow me to add my voice to the chorus of congratulations, and thanks, for saving a piece of aviation history. Good luck!

You guys can smack bum all ya want, I'm gettin' the first ride....

She is now at the Rostraver airport near Pittsburgh, PA The move took place over the weekend on a truck since the FAA would not gran t me a Ferry permit. She is in a hangar and I have already sat in the cockpit anf took it for a pretend flight.

Well done M.D.

You deserve maximum credit for that alone !!!

Those things are worth a LOT of money over here in the U.K. so even if she just sat in a hangar & never turned a wheel, you'd be on to a winner.

Love the picture, SHE looks way nice.

Looking forward to finding out it's history in future times.

Insurance is the killer over here, so I guess any plans of return to flight will have to cross that hurdle, invariably.

Either way, you made the right move.

Congrat's MD. I am extremely jealous.

Why did the FAA turn you down?

[mustangdriver]

Due tio the AD that is out on the wingspar. No big deal. We had to do it in a hurry as someone wanted to use the hangar the airport was letting me keep it in until I could get it moved. She is now safe in the hangar at home, and out of the elements.
