Now that the Fly Days are over, mechanics at the Flying Heritage Collection turn to inspections and maintenance on FHC’s vintage aircraft. Periodically, it comes time inspect or overhaul a propeller. This off season, it seems, lots of propellers are due for maintenance. In all, seven props—B-25, P-47, P-51, Bf 109, Fw 190, and others—are going to be pulled, disassembled, crated and sent off for service in order to have them back in tip-top shape for next year’s flying events.
