I missed it landing a few months ago, and I don't want to miss it departing this time! Does anybody know what day it will be taking off from FBF?

March is the time when round engined warbirds in hibernation since the fall,stir in their hangers,and get ready to turn prop for a new season !!!

If you come down to watch her depart, you may want to bring a shovel - we might have to clear snow off the runway first...:wink:
