2016 Banner Year for Warbird Restorations

[Matt Gunsch]

when is the P-47 Dottie May to fly?

Thursday.........



just not sure which one

[Warbirdnerd]

There must certainly be some Spitfires returning to the air this year.

[Chris Brame]

How close to flight/taxiing is the POF P-59 now?

[T33driver]

Looking like three more Sabres should be flying this year. Hopefully only a matter of weeks for this one.

There's that pesky C-97 with the freshly printed Airworthiness Certificate......

Congrats Kevin, I think I must have missed that if it was posted to Facebook!



Also, there should be a certain C-47B with it's very own first ever freshly printed Airworthiness Certificate in the next few months!

[AFWhite]

Yes, looking forward to seeing some of those in the air this season.

I'll be kicking it off in a couple of weeks down in Pungo, VA at the "Warbirds Over the Beach" show. Looking forward to seeing their Bf-109G-4 in flight.

The Bf-109G is not listed on the WOB flight schedule. Is it not ready or will it be a surprise addition?

And don't forget that PoF's Zero is going back together after a rebuild!

Hey, yes it is suppose to be flying. After seeing the image of the 109 in flight on their WOB web page, I posted the question to them on their FB page and this is the response I got back:

"Hi Andrew, great question! The Bf-109 will be making it's U.S. debut flight at the Air Show this year. We are very excited about it!"

So, with that I gotta believe it is ready to go.

Following the XP-82 project through the blog/newsletter, I'm a bit surprised by a possible first flight this year : they are making great progress but it looks to need a lot of "final touch" before a return to the air. (You know the few remaining percents of things to do who takes lot of time)

Just my 0.2 cents.

Kermit Weeks A-26 Invader should be a flyer

[deskpro590]

How far away are we from seeing the P-61 Black Widow in the air?

[Ryan Harris]

How far away are we from seeing the P-61 Black Widow in the air?

I think we are still a few years away. They are just now working on the wings, although I'm not sure how far into the process they are.

There's that pesky C-97 with the freshly printed Airworthiness Certificate......

Many of us crave seeing that behemoth at Oshkosh. Maintaining and operating a complex beast of that magnitude is no trivial matter. Cheers on the fresh airworthiness certificate!

Nice! Would love to get a look at that...would really love to have a go at the flight engineer panel!
