Icon14 Restoring a WW2 Aviation Gem

Quote:
CBS News
A veteran of World War II is UP IN THE AIR once again, thanks, Lee Cowan tells us, to a small army of volunteers ... and one very determined Korean War vet:
There are men with big plans … and then there’s Tony Mazzolini, whose plan was so big it took up a hanger the size of a football field.
Props to these guys and gals (pun intended) to getting "Doc" flying again!

What an absolute thrill to pilot the aircraft after the restoration. Even more so thrilling to see her fly again.

I've been following this for quite some time now. It's good to have two of them in the air.
