Congratulations to everyone involved with this project, beautiful results!

All I could think about for the entire ten minutes of that video was Mr. Soplata and his kids disassembling the airplane and hauling it home with that old Suburban. Thanks for having the foresight to save all those airplanes, Walt! 8)

It's headed soon to Canada for paint ie OD/gray and stars.
Jerry's sorta vague on the nose art but I sent him a couple ideas.

I'd think incorporating "Wild Cargo" into the nose art would be pretty cool-and appropriate! Great to see her airworthy regardless of paint. :)

Thanks for posting the link, Jack.

VERY NICE JOB !! I agree it's great to see another one rise from the dust pile and get back into it's natural element-looking forward to seeing the paint scheme :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

As Jack said - a basic OD and Neutral Gray scheme will be applied at Goderich and WCS will apply detailed markings in VA afterwards, including full factory stencilling, nose name and artwork. The name logo is sorted out but the final design for the nose-artwork is still being developed.

Something involving a lady and a snake, perhaps? :twisted:

Awesome, nice video!

Just curious, does anyone know if Jerry Yagen is a pilot, and if so, does he fly any of his warbirds?
