Devil Dog back inna air again!

Tue Sep 28, 2010 10:18 am

Hi All:

18.5 min test hop last nite -- no major issues to deal with, just some tweaking. Life is good, if temporarily, as is generally the case with these older airplanes.

BTW I did not know I could hold my breath for 18.5 minutes. I'll bet that is a record! :shock:

Carry on!

Wonderful news Mark! Why is it that we can't seem to keep both Central Texas area B-25's in the air at the same time? <sigh> Hopefully someday soon!

The Rose's engine should be going back to the rebuilder this week or next I think. Can't wait to hear the autopsy report on it.

HooooRay and

Hooo Ahhh!

I love it when a plane comes together... More especially a CAF plane that has had more than its fair share of tribulations!

Great Job Beth and ALL the Devil Dawg Squadron!

Is the Dog invited to Midland? If not are you (Mark) and Beth going to be there, gotta sell them shirts!!!!!! Wayne

Cuz,
The Dog and the Rose were the two B-25's invited with full fuel this year. I had to cancel the Rose, so I don't know which one will take her place, but I don't think the Dog Squad canceled their appearance, since they had the replacement engine on the way. So I'm willing to bet the Dog is there, and the T-shirts!

Am I right Mark?

Hey Mike:

All correct. In fact, we are doubling our load of shirts so everyone can buy 2! What a deal! :wink:

I heard that Miss Mitchell will stand in for the Rose, but that could be a rumor.

Carry on!
