Peruvian NA-50 to fly for bicentennial

摘要

At Las Palmas Air Base, just south of Lima, Peru, the world's only surviving North American NA-50 fighter is now under restoration to fly, after spending more than 50 years displayed on a pole at the airfield. It is planned to have the machine, 50-591/XXI-41-4, airworthy in time for the bicentennial celebrations of the establishment of the republic of Peru, the NA-50 being scheduled to fly at several commemorative events across the country, which gained independence from Spain in July 1821.
