Greg Ely comments (16 January 2020): The aircraft, known as Annie, because of a name written inside the structure, has new used landing gear, and was moved into a hanger @ Livermore AP (LVK) for repairs. Progress on the restoration can be followed on Facebook or by Googling Valiant Effort LLC The hopes are to have her back in the air in 2 to 3 years. |
