I was unable to make it to the museum today and I was not expecting them to fly today due to the weather conditions.

For the most part all morning it had been a wet and cloudy day but the weather broke long enough for them to fly the P-26.

That's a really nice restoration there. ?? I saw it up close when I was there a few months ago to see the Mosquito.
