Another ambition realised..600HP of pure fun!

Finding a bit more time now, I joined the Canadian Warplane Heritage group with the intention of volunteering on one of the restoration projects. A quick visit today ended with the opportunity to Fly the Harvard...

An unbelievable experience. The most fun you can have with your clothes on.. or off for that matter... Damn who wants to go back to flying 160hp PA28's after this.

Ok not exactly Tom cruise... More like Biggles.. before anyone else says it.

This is a shot coming back over the heritage museum, you can see the Stearman parked on the ramp... Thats next on the list.

Not exactly a "Loaded" panel but most of it works.

No not a "before and after photo! "this is a shot of another one undergoing restoration.

And a quick shot of the last Flying Lancaster...

The Stearman..

I was wondering when you were going to grace us with more Drewlife activities. Fab planes - reminds me of my visits to Shuttleworth Museum.
