PA474 First air test of 2018

Post by Tonka 617 »

Spur of the moment trip to Coningsby after work this morning gave me the chance to see PA474's first flight of 2018. After a slight issue with what I believe was a fuel/coolant leak, the mechanics worked their magic and the old girl took too the skies. Great to see her back

Not the greatest photos I have taken but great to get a few snaps of her back in the air

Nice pics!

Funny how the bomb doors on '474 have never quite fit right at the back end!
