They’ve lost two of them in California, a couple of others were operating out of Camarillo & Pt Mugu about 3 weeks ago.

Since when did people start considering economic viability when it comes to restoring aircraft?. Ok, I get that a new engine is worth as much as the entire aircraft.. so technically it’s an “economic write-off”. It’s just time & materials 😉

Aircraft is still laying in the field & there’s already been a damage assessment regarding possible return to flight or the scrap yard? I’m impressed….

I might be being a bit dense, but I still don’t get it. Did the film people decide “we need an aircraft with these markings, just like that one over there (points to aircraft with desired paint scheme)… but not that actual aircraft, so can you paint this one (points to aircraft parked next to the first one) to look like that one? (points at first aircraft again).
Or did the owner of the first aircraft with the correct markings tell the film people to get stuffed so they had to paint another one to look like it?

Any particular reason we have two Hurricanes with the same markings & almost identical paint schemes sitting next to each other in the same hangar? I take it the was intentional & not the aviation version two women showing up at a party in the same dress…?

Incomplete: The doors would be my guess..

Found Avimo’s one day while I was poking about in a McLaren CanAm car 🙂
