A combat veteran, Upupa Epops is now owned and operated by the Flying Heritage Collection, and is routinely flown in the skies above Everett, Washington in the summer months.
Upupa Epops rolls by the crowd line after putting on an impressive display with FHC's Spitfire and the P-51B of the Historic Flight Foundation on Allied Aces Day 2013. All three warbirds are combat vets.
