First official flight for XP-82 Twin Mustang prototype

After an unexpected first flight on 31 December, the prototype of Tom Reilly’s North American XP-82 Twin Mustang made its first “official” flight on Monday 28 January.

Ray Fowler was again at the controls of the XP-82 for this “second first flight”, which went very well.

Warbird Digest made this video showing the first flight. You can also find more information and photos on the project and first flight on their website.
