on Monday
Super Rabbit has flown two test flights today, and will continue to fly all week to work out some bugs. Everything is looking great so far and is almost ready to hit the airshow circuit.

Scotty Butler asked me to post this photo of the landing after the first flight in many years, made on Monday, June 9. The airplane was purchased and showed up at Wiley Post Airport on December 12, 2012.

I saw super rabbit today. It was coming in to land at Tinker AFB for tomorrow's air show. Looking good.
I'll see it fly on Sunday.

There was, Ken. Jack Cook owns this photo of the original, which has been posted to a past forum thread here and can also be seen on one of the Oklahoma Museum of Flying's B-25 pages (note that the original was painted OD, and was a D-model): http://www.oklahomamuseumofflying.org/p ... sr-03b.jpg
