... 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.
