The XP-82 was surrounded by people congratulating all involved throughout the day.

Nice pics as always, Bill! You're an ace with that camera.

Glad to see the XP-82 out and about! What a fantastic restoration. I sute hope it makes a trip to Texas some day.

What's the story on the Electra (or P-3) in the background behind the XP?

Looks like the NOAA WP-3D N42RF. Used for Hurricane and weather research. Distinct tail cone.
