Two thumbs up for "Korean War Hero". Her test flight was fantastic and a success. I've never seen her fly better. She's ready to fly in the Pikes Peak air show in CO this weekend.

That airplane sure looks a He11 of a lot better than the last time I saw it in our hangar.
Outstanding job!
Jim is a man of his word, he said it would be repaired quickly!
