BC Mack Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Bob the flight down there was partly financed by pilot check rides, a certain gent from Florida is rumoured to want one really bad, the US Navy is now waiting until after the election before they decide on the blue one... over two years pursuing a deal, plane repainted to their spec and readied for a ferry flight...go figure. The world of Warbirds is a strange world for sure.. there will never be a shortage of cameras at Oshkosh... BC Mack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
