Curt Kinchen flew his Fairchild PT-26 for the first time in two and half years on June 30, at Paine Field, WA. The PT is freshly restored after an emergency off-field landing and the flight test encountered no issues.
Paine Field is a fun place with everything from antiques to Boeing Flight Test activity. In this video you can see early production 787's stored on the closed runway 11/29 as Curt lands and taxies in.
