Make sure to check out Josh's video on 23U's engine swap. Our recent video did the lead up of what's been going on this summer, and this is the "Part 2" of that story. Huge thanks to the team for making it happen.

Josh and Chelsea from ‪@Aviation101‬ were up here in Alaska, and just so happened to be able to help with 23U and her engine. They elude to the story here, but next episode will be worth a good watch for engine stuff.
