Live Shop Students Go Back In Time
The students working in the live shop are getting ready to go back in time a bit to work on a N3N-3 Navy bi-plane. It was the last bi-plane used by the US Military service, and is the only aircraft and engine that was factory built. A total of 816 aircraft, also known as “Yellow Bird”, or “Yellow Peril” were built, and we now get the honor of returning one of them to the sky.
