Can any WIXers confirm or deny?

It flew. It will be flown during AirVenture, then returned to the museum afterwards.

Thanks for confirming, Zack. See you in a few weeks.

To any and all who expect to attend Oshkosh this year. I have been a P-64 fanatic for most of my life and I simply can not be there for the occasion this time. I would dearly love to see the P-64 fly and I'm willing to bet that Bill Larkins would as well. Please, anybody attending, take lots of pictures of the flight. I have already had the opportunity to photograph her on the ground several times but almost all the in flight photos I have seen have been distant or blurred.

Thanks a million in advance.

That's really great news. I know they would've loved to have had it ready before Paul died. Rick is an excellent pilot and a good guy and valued EAA volunteer. I think it's okay to fly the P-64 as there is a tremendous amount of knowledge and shops that can fabricate parts if needed. Please no low level aerobatics!

Very cool!
