An amazing way to start an early-September morning!

There is absolutely nothing like the sound of a vintage Pratt & Whitney radial engine coughing, sputtering, and roaring back to life. Yesterday, we successfully completed an engine run on the North American T-6 Texan. She ran smoothly, sounded incredibly angry, and reminded everyone on the ramp what real aviation heritage feels like. Huge thanks to the crew for the hard work getting her ready for ignition. The roar is back, and she’s ready for the skies!
