Catch-A-Cardinal takes flight

After more than seven months of hard work, the 1977 Cessna Cardinal we're refurbishing for the 2007 sweepstakes has made its first test flight.

So, how do you prepare for a return to service flight after such major maintenance? We prepped many hours over days and weeks — and you can read all about it in this week's update.

It was an amazing sight to see everyone's efforts fly. Visit the photo gallery as well for pictures of the event.
