Well the crowdfunder is in its last week. It’s now close to 90% funded so hopefully will make it or all the money is lost. It’s definitely picked up in the last couple of days, and I wonder if this quote from Kermit Weeks about the project had something to do with that:

I think it’s great that people are trying to preserve some of these rare and historic aircraft, but you have to realize it takes time, money, and effort to do so and LOTS of it! So, before you just sit back as an armchair enthusiast telling others how you’d like them to spend their money on what airplanes you would like to see them restore, I would suggest you step up to the plate, put your own money where your enthusiasm lies, and become part of the process!
