A very rare treat for those of us on the west coast this weekend: one of the world's two airworthy Mosquitos flew at the Abbottsford International Airshow. She's owned by Bob Jens and kept at Vancouver International Airport. It's first post-resto flight was just this June.
Given that so much of this plane is wood, I thought it was very interesting to look at those parts. Without any rivets or fasteners, the surfaces looked nearly glass smooth, and I couldn't help but think how much it reminded me of a composite surface. What an absolutely gorgeous airplane!
