Pratt & Whitney stickers on the engine, a vinyl D-Day badge and then a Buffalo Airways rudder. Nice shot.

They did an absolutely brilliant resto job on her. Beautiful shot of her in the air.

Wonderful to see this bird fly again. I had some time on her for Transport Canada in Montreal between 1974 & 1977.

Great job @ Mickey Mcbryan and all the supporters of Plane Savers for restoring this awesome bird! May it fly forever.
