They've recovered from the hurricanes and are in pretty good shape. I talked to Bob Neider who owns AE about a B-24 last week and he said they were going great guns. It takes him a long time to answer emails so just pick up the phone and call him. I think he makes great planes and they are pretty reasonable. Now if the engines for a B-24 were as reasonable as the plane I wouldn't have to save so many pennies!
