hi all,

I noted some recent added youtube videos of Paul Allens P-40C flying. Glad to see the old girl is getting some air time! :D 8)

A lot of the collection's planes fly on a rotating schedule, posted on the FHC website. This past weekend we got to see the Polikarpov PO-2 "Night Witches" rooskie biplane, and the P-47D Thunderbolt at Paine Field. I love it!

And two weeks ago saw Bud Granley fly said P-40C along with a very snapping and backfiring Upuppa P-51, sounds like a couple of bad leads or a weak mag because when power was pulled off to land, it snapped like an alochol funny car and sounded like a washing machine full of walnuts as it taxied past. the Allison just continued to purr.
And. Apparently, Vulcan has fired yet another Chief Mechanic, they go through maintenance personnel faster than Goodrich did-
