Saving rare and historic aircraft is no easy feat. Be it decades of neglect, damage or just plain wear and tear these birds need not only talent and determination, but an amazing collection of parts, a network of suppliers and unquestionable integrity to restore and license them to fly. The Yanks crew has done it again. So many times we have been told that aircraft we have acquired "will never fly again." This is not what you tell our crew. This just takes them to another level of determination.

The G-73 Mallard from the Edward‘s Estate is on its way. She will be fueling in Tucson tonight and heading for Yanks✈ tomorrow. More information will be available this evening if you’d like to see her fly-in. #ferryflight #g73mallard #warbird #WWII #avgeek #aviationhistory #Grumman #amphibious #seaplanes #vintageaircraft | Yanks Air Museum
