Was scheduled to fly the Selfridge MI show this weekend, never showed up.
I believe it flew Oshkosh a few weeks ago ,,, Thier web page is down.

Anyone know the status of the Phantom ?

It was posted on Facebook that only just early last week it made its first flight in 6 years.

Oh, thought I saw that it was at Osh, think it was youtube, must have been a previous year.

Here are some jaw dropping pics taken by a guy I was watching the Selfridge show with if anyone is interested, didn't get many warbirds as they didn't orbit out to where we were too often.
They had a B-17, 2 B-25s P-40, 2 Mustangs P-39 and a few more in the air today, good show.

I was told it was a trim unit issue. I was really looking forward to seeing it at Selfridge. Our paths will cross one day I hope.
