They have raised funds for two zero-time Pratt & Whitney engines, the first of which was installed on the airplane yesterday. The fittings and accessories from the old left engine will now be inspected, refurbished, and installed on the second engine at their shop in Florida. The fabric control surfaces have also been re-covered and are being reinstalled. Here is a 6-panel pano that I took this morning: http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20190424-DSCF7225-Pano.JPG.html And, here is that new right engine: http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20190424-DSCF7222.JPG.html Please view LARGE! -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
