In an amazing development I understand that the ex Michigan Air Museum (formerly the Yankee Air Museum) Boeing B 17G Flying Fortress N3193G is coming to Avspecs for a complete restoration that I also understand will be very historically accurate. No doubt it will fly here after its restoration and that will be a spectacular sight to see!
Here is Yankee Lady at Oshkosh 2022.
If this comes to pass it will be a huge recognition for Avspecs as to the quality of restoration work that they have carried out for many years now. Reports suggest that the new owner of Yankee Lady bases his WW 2 aircraft collection at Sacramento in California, and has another couple of Avspecs restorations in his collection being the ex Rod Lewis Mosquito PZ474 (ZK-BCV) and the ex Tony Banta Spitfire Mk XVI TB252 (ZK-NLJ). No doubt he liked what he saw in these wonderful restorations. Congratulations to Warren Denholm and his Avspecs team. World class!.
Awesome news - they are going to need a bigger hanger though. Hopefully some airshow appearances after restoration.
