    Question Aluminum Overcast?

    Does anyone know the current status of the "Aluminum Overcast?" Is it still grounded in Florida? How far has the repairs gotten?

    Latest news is EAA is planning to disassemble it and truck it back to Oshkosh. I'm guessing they found a lot more problems than they initially suspected. Pulling a B-17 apart, shipping it 1,000 miles, and reassembling it is a big, big job.
