This picture was taken at NAS Pensacola sometime in the 1960's of my airplane. The airplane has a Wright 1820-86 engine, 1425HP. Top speed is 345knots. Max weight is approx. 8600lbs. A ground up restoration has been completed. Work started in April 1999. In April 2001 the wings were attached to the fuselage and the plane was on its gear. The first flight was February 15th, 2003.
