They called their overall project "Big Piet." The plan was to get all 6 into primer, then draw lots for the Piets. The goal was to fly them to Brodhead and then Oshkosh last year for the 80th anniversary of Pietenpols. They missed having a couple ready by a month or so. Four of the six made it into the air last year. The other two are almost done.
