I don't know, but suspect negative. She is scheduled for a lot of work to be done. I talked with one A & P out of Hampton, NH, who said that he'll be doing some of the work involved. You could get more information from
Jim.Knowles@juno.com. He is the owner of Southern Maine Aviation(and the PBY). http://www.SouthernMaineAviation.com

Additionally, Sanford Regional Airport Open House will be on July 01, 2007. Featured will be air show performances by Rob Holland, and Manfred Radius.
