In 2015 we had the incredible opportunity to take the airplane to the Kaneohe bay air show in Pearl Harbor. This required us flying it to March Air Force base in California. There we removed one wing and the elevators in order to fit it into a C5 galaxy. The Air Force then transported the plane and us to Hawaii where we re-assembled the airplane and flew in the air show. The following several days we spent doing photo flights around the island and especially over Pearl Harbor. Here is also a video of the fly over we did. Brad Deckert
