Awesome, nice video!

Just curious, does anyone know if Jerry Yagen is a pilot, and if so, does he fly any of his warbirds?
He is and he flies all the single engined aircraft.

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

I believe I posted on my seeing this 25 take off from Air Acres in Woodstock, Ga, heading for gwinnett Co airport (as I understand it was to get the aircraft ferryable to Tidewater). I watched for awhile and I don't believe they raised the gear the whole trip. It sure looks like they took a "rough one" and made it sweet again.

Why this one? why did they buy such a deeply derelict airframe when there were a few dozen airworthy or ferriable aircraft available? Is is a B model?
THose pictures of it flying are a nice testament to Mr. Soplata's foresight and to Mr. Yagen's financing and team of workers.

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.
Quick update - the aircraft is now with Sky Harbour in Goderich, Canada with paint being applied.

He regularly flies the Mustang, Spit, Hurricane, ME-108 that I know of. Here he's flying the Mustang at Geneseo:
