[Guest P3_Super_Bee]

The EP-3E of VQ-1 that "visited" China last year. Did a 2 hour check flight friday. The first of many test flights. She is now is the proud owner of a SuperBee wing. (They refitted her with the wing off of a P-3"Super"B. After flight test she will go in for interior rehab.

Yes, it was disassembled. Luckily WE did it, so that we COULD reassemble it. :-)Regards,http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jsnyder99/sigs/name.jpg

The flight testing is now also complete, now she's off to have the mission avionic suite, rebuilt/upgraded. My guess is she'll be flying missions within the next 6 or so. T:-outtahttp://publish.hometown.aol.com/p3superb/images/675-2fs.jpg
