Vintage planes get inspected, repaired as flying season ends

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.
