Yes. It’s going to Oshkosh and the Antique Aircraft (AACA?) meet.
Also, a plan is in the works for it to fly with the oldest flying Stearman C3B mailplane on a cross country flight from New York to San Francisco.
Addison plans to fly it as much as possible.

It’s a great project. Pemberton (ands more than 60 volunteers) have put eight years and 18,000 hours into the restoration.

BTW: as you see, some of the front sheetmetal was left off for this test to enable the crew to check for any oil leaks.
