Well, seeing as I was the one that posted the info on the Vans forum (yeah,
I hang out there, always good information), I figured I needed to respond.
If I'm not mistaken, Ron posted a note to the LML last year sometime....
Title was something about "Phoenix return from the ashes" or some such.
Anyway, He was able to reuse the canopy, instrument panel, firewall forward,
one wing, etc.
I'm pretty sure he posted pictures of it in raw carbon (no body work), but I
don't know what the current status is. I talked to him last summer and
while it was flyable, it still was not back to its original pristine form.
I recently tried emailing the address in the builders log and it was
bounced, so if anyone has contact info, it might be nice to see how they are
doing. Perhaps for those that are flying, it would be fun to stage an
intervention :) - Fly out - to where they are.... Midwest if memory serves
me correctly. I know they gave lots to the community until the accident,
was glad no-one was hurt, but they probably need a little support returned
from those that were in awe of the
"stars and strips" :)
