Blair’s P-38 Putt Putt Maru is at Stallion 51 Maintance facility undergoing a complete overhaul, I saw the aircraft today. It will be staying at Kissimmee In his newly finished facility at Stallion 51. Also saw RN-201 and she looks stunning as usual surrounded by 5 Mustangs and a P-40 in Stallion’s main hanger. The folks at there are exercising her on a regular basis.
Also of note during my visit was a large collection of vintage cars that belong to Mr. Blair. Restored corvetts, thunderbirds, cameros, Mercedes, and some stunning very vintage Bentleys. I understand they will go on display in the car section of his new museum.
I was told that PL344 has just arrived with John Romain at ARCO and will be getting a complete overhaul and respray into new and accurate colors. Hince the UNKNOWN container at DX’s area 51.
I was also told by folks at Stallion that Blair’s Flugwerk 190 and Spanish 109 will be coming across the atlantic in time for the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends in Fall of 07 and then move into the new living history center at Kissimmee.
If anyone has the opportunity to visit Stallion I highly suggest it. They are very kind to let you up close and personal and their engineers are very friendly and informative.
Blair has completely leveled the former Flying Tigers Musuem property adjacent to Stallion 51 and is completing a new display hanger that will be first class when complete and uniquely different from any other museum.
The Blair and Stallion 51 Facilities are immaculate and the staff take great pride in their environment …. Well done !
Cheers,
Austin
