"Red 47" V-Tail Bonanza First Flight after Major Reassembly

We had the pleasure of helping a friend of ours get his 1947 Model 35 Bonanza put back together and in annual after being transported by trailer from California (not by us for once). The plane had last been in annual in 2019, but it was grounded when the engine started making metal. The owner supplied a used replacement E225, and we got her flight ready. The rest is history!
