Big Picture

I have about 60 hours on the aircraft. All major snags have been resolved, but there are still some little ones to chase down. I got the aircraft back from the paint shop on 16 Apr, in its beautiful Golden Hawks paint scheme, and flew the first post-paint flight on Friday, 30 Apr.

Lots more pictures here.

As of 23 July 2010, we're in the midst of our first visit to Oshkosh with the aircraft. They have had a huge amount of rain in the last few weeks, so conditions are not very good. Wish us luck.

Scroll down for the latest detailed news.
