Did anybody capture the new nose art that I believe has been applied to this machine. I gather it is a ‘Miserable Mickey Mouse’ and clearly a chuckle at the successful litigation with the Disney Corps that is reported to have funded this recent purchase.

A quarter of a BILLION dollars eh? 😮 😮
That’s well more than Kermit Weeks is worth. Mr. Russell could definately do a substantial amount of good within the warbird movement if he set his mind and heart to it. I hope his passion for warbirds grows with time.
Can someone say “new production DB601/605? 😀

Wow! I guess with those kinds of dollars 2.2 million for a Spit is pretty economical, cheap really. Sure wish Disney would rip off one of my ideas!

Chad,
Canadian Ed Russell has bought MK912 from HFL, and is due to have her shipped out to Canada at some point, together with a T6 for taildragger familiarisation training.
Apparently, he took on the Disney Corporation in a law suit and won considerable damages – no idea how much, or what the law suit was for, but this appears to be Ed Russell’s post-lawsuit dig at Disney.

Please feel free to expand on this for those who have not heard. (like me!)
