In addition to the Soaring by the Sea Foundation's newly-acquired AD-4N Skyraider N5716, the Pacific Northwest has another new AD....

Since photos have emerged on the web of it being transported by road from the port, I'm not really breaking a confidence....

The ex-UK-based Skyraider (G-RADR, IIRC), arrived in the U.S. via Seattle in June.

It is currently being prepared for flight, I understand with a fresh 3350.

It's new owner hopes to fly it by the fall.
I don't have a registration yet.

Thank you, John. I was just recently wondering about the status of that Skyraider, and will look forward to hopefully seeing/reading about its return to flight, in the Pacific Northwest.

This evening, I've finally gotten around to adding to the list the recently-completed Yak-3UPW OO-JBE, which was just test flown for the first time, at Brasschaat, Belgium, a few days ago. This is a completely new-on-the-scene Avioane Craiova- built Yak-3, that has been in the works at FAST Aero in Belgium for a number of years now. The detail and quality of work that FAST put into the restoration/build is phenomenal. It's fitted with a P&W R-1830, and is on the market: https://www.controller.com/listing/for- ... y-aircraft

C-47 Dakota ZA947 of the RAF BBMF flew again on 29th August after a 3 year overhaul at Duxford and has now returned to it's RAF Coningsby base.
