Beautiful restoration. Patiently awaiting replacement of No.4 engine before undertaking the flight across Atlantic to The Netherlands, which was successfully completed in September 2002. Aircraft currently (January 2018) on static display at the Dutch Aviodrome in Lelystad.

The early morning lighting definitely enhances the beauty of the this airplane. She is being readied for the day's activities which were curtailed prematurely after the No.1 engine failure. I wrote about my experiences that day in Propliner issue 70.

During my visit, I thought this cabin was original. I later found out that NASA had stripped out the interior and that it had been completely restored in 1994. Sold to Lewis Air Legends and aircraft is being restored and being made airworthy in 2018 at Chino Airport.

This is the result of a cylinder letting loose on a radial engine. It happened at the worst possible time on one of Avra Valley's relatively 'short' runways. The No.2 engine had been throttled back to simulate an engine failure. As we rotated after a 'touch and go' landing, the No.1 engine failed and, momentarily, both engines on the left side were producing little or no power. Captain Frank Lang brought the aircraft under control and we returned to Avra Valley Airport for a safe landing.
