@theatredrummer: Wow, thats so cool though.. It must be very rewarding when you have a plane restored, And then you get to fly it.. What a trip. Sign me up lol

@papi it's a fantastic thing, to spend years pain-stakingly restoring the aircraft from crash condition to airworthy condition.
To then see the smoke and the flames commingled from the engine as it starts up and then to hear the roar of the engine as you throttle up slightly, then to feel her lift off or see her lift off foe the first time in many years is fantastic
