Did Mr. Soplata get to see it fly?

yes it is one of them :drink3:

Hey Paul, Do you know how long it was from the time it was removed from the property in Ohio 'till it was airborne again?


If memory serves correct, about 5 years. I'm not positive but I will see if I can find out for sure. :drink3:

I don't believe he actually seen it fly, but seen pictures of the restoration.

If i remember correctly he never wanted any of his planes to ever fly again for the risk of having them destroyed...

You are absolutely correct. Walt explicitly requested that the planes never leave the ground. But after they are sold the new owners can do with them what they want. I think that seeing them in the air is far better than seeing them sit in northeast Ohio rotting from the elements.

I certainly agree. It amazes me to see "photographers" post photos of prop-jobs that look as though each propeller is feathered. They get great shots of the jets, but cannot master prop blur like you have.


I was guilty of the "feathered prop" photography until I got lessons from our own Roger Cain and Bill Scheuerman. :drink3:
