Update: Our team just returned from a 2 week mission to continue the heavy inspection of our new C-54D. This required stopping in SC and removing some necessary parts from our damaged C-54, the former N500EJ. After many long days of work, we can report that all engines are running and taxi tests have been performed. While we still have a long way to go to get the C-54D back into flying shape, there has been significant progress made at this point.

We are still a long way off on fundraising, but getting there. While we still have our GoFundMe going, don’t forget that December 2 is ‘Giving Tuesday” where Facebook will match donations to a recognized charity. Our Vice President, Kevin Kearney, has set up a #givingtuesday2020 fundraiser and posted it here: https://www.facebook.com/236462599836220/posts/1816656518483479/?d=n
Please help if you can. If not, please share it with those who can. Thank you all for your continued support.

We have made significant progress on the replacement C-54. Our crew just returned from Florida and reported that we (with the aid of the carburetors from N500EJ) have a C-54 with 4 running engines!! There are still a lot of squawks on the maintenance to do list, but progress is progress. We can only do this with your help!
