Kermit Weeks is restoring one...if not this very one to fly again.

Thank you, interesting video. In response to some comments above, they can't all fly again. Some just need to look pretty. I love a moving plane as much as anyone else and it does give the most complete feel for the plane but sometimes it just isn't practical. This one is well preserved and loved.

I like the humble VW wheels. Did they replace them before the wheel pants went on?

Anything not flying is a waste.
