OK, how many do they have? I counted ten on the ramp yesterday. I assume two are Block 52s (or whatever the newest ones are). Will they be keeping all the older ones for flying until they are all in the same aircraft?

Yep! The Block 52's are slated for '09. Don't quote me, but I think they had 11 birds (Block 32's) during '07 and are to receive the new ones throughout the year, and continue making modifications to them and revisions etc for the show profile(s). Come showtime 2009, the transition to flight should occur as well!!!

You counted 10 and the 11th was in our hangar for a Fuel System Malfunction.

Huh, never would have guessed I counted that well from the other side of the field.

So if I understand correctly, at some point this year there will be 16 TBird aircraft?
