My CubCrafters EX N-96FV was finished July 30, 2016 – last weekend of AirVenture. My 87-year old Dad was the first passenger after my 40-hour fly off. He flew chase in his Cherokee for the maiden flight.
It’s painted in D-Day colors for my C-130 unit’s 70th anniversary. 96th Airlift Squadron Flying Vikings were the 96th Troop Carrier Squadron in WW2. The squadron’s designation was 6Z.
