Yep. Mike came right here to Lubbock and tried to set up in the old REESE AFB. but our fine city officials didnt want it here. But Cisco is only about 4 hours from my house. Thats a hell of a lot closer than Australia!!!

Bob,
   Just read this in "Aeronews online...............I presume you are aware of the move ??...........
 
 
 Spitfire Comes To Texas Scale Manufacturer Moving From Australia

The website of the Texas Aviation Association indicated that the
manufacturer of a two-place scale replica of the Supermarine
Spitfire is moving its operation from Brisbane, Australia to Cisco
Municipal Airport (3F2) just west of Ft. Worth. A hangar to
accommodate the manufacturer is being built this winter.
Supermarine Spitfire Replica

The website for Supermarine Aircraft confirms the move. The TXAA
says the "all aluminum follow-on to the famous WWII fighter from
Great Britain is powered by a liquid cooled General Motors LS2, 364
cu.in. V8 engine, delivering 430 HP! Mike O'Sullivan /Supermarine
have invested the necessary money over the last 20 years to make a
superb product that produces the famed handling qualities of the
legacy Spitfire at a fraction of the cost."

The airplane comes either fully built or in kit form to the
owner. The Supermarine web site says they hope to be back to full
operations in their Texas facilities in mid March.
