It was just posted that Glacier Girl will require a complete engine replacement so that more than likely verifies my above comment.
It will remain in Goose Bay until that is done. So looks like Goose Bay will have a new resident for quite some time.

That's a bummer, especially as it means she will probably not make it to Oshkosh in July...  Cry

But I'm glad the problem was detected early and dealt with conservatively- better stuck in Canada than limping somewhere over the Atlantic on one engine!

That's DX off for me then, can't afford such an expensive event for just the usual suspects.

Doh. Saves £30 entry to Legends then...

Shame though. Maybe next year.

Saw this on Air Scene UK yesterday:

with luck the P-38 'Glacier Girl' may make the UK after all, but a week late - a new engine is on its way to the stricken fighter. With luck Ed Shipley will take the P-38 to Fairford and possibly fly with an F-15C. Courtesy Gary Watson


There might still be hope, although not for Legends.
