Gallery Update: A Familiar Visitor to Spanish Fork

I was going flying today and I happened to bring my camera this time. Before I headed out to the airplane I scheduled myself in, I snapped a few shots which included a familiar aircraft I haven't seen in a while.

Spanish Fork-Springville (U77) 3

Preview:

Sorensen BF9-2 Phantom "Unfinished Business" (N81973) parked on the Spanish Fork ramp. I haven't seen this one-of-a-kind bi-plane since 2014! Built by Danny Sorensen of Golden Age Airshows, the aircraft has a Russian-made engine, and German-made propeller. It took Sorensen nearly 6,000 hours to complete construction of the aircraft, excluding design time. It is an aircraft reminiscent of the 1930s (the golden age of aviation, hence the air show name!) with modern high performance.
