Mike–

More likely Thunder than Legends, at least initially…The former Soplata F-82E is being restored to fly by C&P Aviation at Anoka, Minnesota. (BTW it was owned for a time by the Arnold family in the UK, but I’m unsure whether the actual airframe came across the Atlantic or not).

Some one’s bound to ask so it might as well be me. Will it be at Legends…? (I’ll get my coat, as a sadly missed person would have said.)

As your link does not work, try this for a potted history, fascinating!
