Cool photo non the less =)
We talked about it but not sure if it will happen.

Right now we still have to do some technical upgrades on the engine. Its powered by a Ford V-6 car engine and the ignition needs upgrading to make more reliable.

This full scale Se-5 replica is one of 5 built by Albert Braun/Brown. Think only 2 are airworthy right now. Besides ours there should be one in the US owned by Roland Gilliam. Up what I understood from him is that his plane participated in the movie "The Aviator"
