Depends on the defintion applied of course. I wouldn't say they'll

Ummm yup, another pile of corroded aluminum that will be 100% replaced
by hand made new parts at a cost of 2.5x 10e6, then declared to be a
'restoration' and worshipped by the EAA... yawn


Kinda doubt it. It has to be too far gone for that. That one from Greenland
was one of about half a dozen and they chose to do just one of them.

As far as the warning about 'hi-octane fuel', not to worry... It is
not possible to over estimate the stupidity of the public...



True.
