Have I Mentioned How Marvelous “Fifi” Looks In Flight?

Surprisingly, it appears that I have not. There were plenty of pictures of her on the ground during her arrival on Tuesday, panoramas of her on the ramp, a video of her engine warm up, and lots of pictures of our P-51 in various stages of repair and test flights.

Tonight, being sunburned, exhausted, sore, and at the end of about a dozen days in a row that were ten to sixteen hours long, I’m just going to leave these here for you to drool over.

In the distance you see some nice houses in Camarillo – have I mentioned how nice one of those would be, with a comfy back porch and a big pair of binoculars to watch the planes land?

Touchdown!

If it seems that my life consists of little other than CAF-related items for the last two weeks, well, that’s because my life has been about 95%+ focused on CAF-related items for the last two weeks.

One more day of CAF news and “Fifi”, and I hope tomorrow will be the best of all.

As for the other 5% of my life in the last two weeks? With luck there will be some really big, really good news there as well. Hope. Hope. Hope…
