Awesome, would absolutely love to see that fly!
Surprised that I hadn't seen anything about its restoration to flight before though.

Superb! What a beast! That's just gone into my Top 5 wish-list to shoot!

Thanks for sharing,
Paul

Lovely shots there. I wonder if this return to flight project is as cash starved as some we know of? :smile:

Wonderful to see such an elegant shape back in the air will make an effort to shoot that...

A viable delta jet back in the air - excellent! Never got to see a camo'd Swiss twin stick..
