NO PHOTOS this month . . . we want you to come out in person and see the progress!!
It has been another great month of hard work on the planes! We’ve got the engine almost hung, new tires and brakes, and have seen the panel start to take its final form . . . short of an interior, a few loose ends to tie together, and final inspection, she is a “brand new” 1941 Stinson 10A!! We hope to have her flyable by mid-April.
The Mississippi Wing is pleased to welcome COL Dan Fabian to the ranks of CAF approved C-45 pilots. Dan completed his check-ride with COL Ben Cunningham during February. If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor/pilot for a CAF aircraft (Beech or Stinson), please read CAFR 60-2 or ask one of the staff on how to make it happen.

The C-45 is departing for NAS Meridian (www.MeridianAirShow.com) on Saturday morning, April 17th and returning the next day. If you would like to ride, please contact COL Jim Barbee. SCHEDULE OF UPCOMING EVENTS:
When you review the events calendar below, you will notice that the Collings Foundation visit with their B-17 and B-24 has dropped off. Unfortunately for us they are re-skinning some of the aluminum airframe on their B-17 and will not be making the trip this year . . . they promise us that next year our location will have priority consideration.
