After rapid repairs at West Pac the Tobul Corsair took to the sky again today for the first time since the accident earlier this year. :drink3:
Quote from their Facebook Page:
Two thumbs up for "Korean War Hero". Her test flight was fantastic and a success. I've never seen her fly better. She's ready to fly in the Pikes Peak air show in CO this weekend.
