I drove up from Tucson to Marana today, knowing that they were planning to fly but not when. Luckily, I pulled up right as Columbine II was taxiing out to the end of the runway! Talk about timing.
Enging run ups:
Heading out to the runway:
Off she goes! Hadn't had time to switch to my long lens yet...
The test flight lasted for about an hour, just doing wide circuits around the airport with a Beech King Air flying chase and me getting sunburned.
Final approach. Connies have "yuge" flaps!
And done. Some happy crew. Word is they were happy with the airplane today.
