| As Winter 2005 maintenance activities wind down, it is obvious that "Fifi" has had quite a once-over...rudder, left outer wing work, underside work, a fresh #4 engine, new floor boards and crew station refurbishing. They hope to have it back in the air by mid- June. Thank goodness for dedicated volunteers!! Some drive from Tulsa, Oklahoma on the weekends just to participate in the refurb. |
