A marvelous achievement. Been watching these guys for a few years now. The project has popped up here on WIX before. Now all they need are some dummy guns sticking out of the nose and some spinners on those props!

Yes, a huge challenge and a beautiful human story during 17 years of construction.

Probably a bit difficult for our english speaking friends because the video is in french, but the comment and discussion of the actors of this project are really nice hear ;-)

The last part of the movie is the President of the association first flight in the plane with a lot of emotion.

The plane is now painted with the exact marking of the French pilot Max Guedj who was killed during the attack of a German ship on the coast of Norway the 15 january 1945.

I hope to see this plane flying during the 2012 airshow season

:drink3:

I could only assume an appropriate scheme such as that would be applied! Great stuff! Will there be an spinners for the aircraft?
