A day in the life at Warbird Heritage Foundation. Engine runs and taxi on our newly acquired Skyraider.

Everything went as planned and we should be flying in a couple of weeks.

Very nice! Can never have too much of the sound of round in the upper midwest. I look forward to seeing her in person soon.

Dave, are there more hard points in her future? She looks positively streamlined right now. :wink:

I think more hard points will be added if I can find them for a good price. The 3350 has an awesome sound to it. Looking forward to sharing it with all the Warbird fans out there.

That looks real good, David, like a beautiful bird right there. I bet it sounded great, too!
