Carl's PT is in the process of being sold to Bob
Tullius. We may have it flying by this time next
year. The fuselage is about ready for cover, the
wings need some rework, and engine needs a buildup,
yadda, yadda .
Keep an eye out for an F24 with an Army plate for me.
Preferrably a UC-61K. I know of two that were sold in
Wisconsin. I believe they are now in the
Chicago/Indiana area now.
