... The "Fang has Flown!!!"

First time in the air in 40 years. happened last week (on the 2nd I believe). Nice to see another P-63 in the air especially after the tragic loss of the CAF example.

First photo below is of the YAM P-63 after it's flight (with a bit of new artwork and black spinner.
Second photo is her sitting in the YAM Museum in previous years with older artwork and yellow spinner.

What’s behind the drive to get some of their planes flying again?

Not sure. Perhaps it may be because of the reality that “Pickling” is Finite.

That first photo is quite something, wow! Congratulations to all involved in returning her to the air.
