Aero-News Quote of the Day

“Each time we fly we learn more about this historic warbird. While the engines and all of the flight control surfaces performed as expected, we found a few minor issues that we will need to continue to fine-tune and maintain as we work through the flight test schedule. Today we found a small issue on a landing gear motor but it was nothing major. Finding these types of fine-tuning necessities is what the flight test campaign is all about. The flight test crew as well as our volunteer restoration and maintenance crews have done an amazing job on this project. Thanks to this team, we are getting closer to being able to fly Doc further, farther and eventually, make Doc’s mission of being flying museum to honor our nation’s heroes a reality.”
