Simply beautiful! That does have dual controls, right?

I read that Chris was going to be giving rides and dual in this aircraft, is that still the plan?

a.) It does has dual controls and instumentation
b.) I don't know about "giving" rides, I think you'll have to bring your
checkbook. Plan I heard was to make it available though.

Of course, that's what I meant! Nothing is for free in the expensive world of warbirds. Perhaps I should have said that he will be offering "flight experiences" for money. :)

Found some blue sky, but still dark below the clouds, a well deserved Victory Roll, and a return to base.

If that ever happens Chris will never live it down :lol:

If he does, that is his choice, nothing to live down. He hasn't said he won't do it at a later time, just for now it will stay as you see it.

Here is a quick and dirty video of Chris's first flight:

I hadn't been to Schellville in years when we stopped in and were so fortunate to witness the event.

The TP-40N is beautiful. Chris sure did a great job. Well done!
