Sawbones damaged

[flyboycpa]

I heard from a close friend within the warbird community that Sawbones was recently damaged in a landing incident. He said the gear was "down, but not locked" and it suffered a collapsed gear with belly, engine/prop damage.

Anyone confirm this?

New photos of "Furias" partially painted in the new "Air Classics". Good article on the"Cobra I & II" P39 racers.
