(Sorry, can't get the P-47 image to work quite right, but click on it if you want to.)
Thanks,

no, i go to see the Flying Fortress and the Liberator every summer during the "Wings of Freedom" tour see www.collingsfoundation.org/cf_schedule-wof.htm . one year, a Mitchell joined them in the midwest. it was a sight to behold *sighs*Jerekson said:I'm extremely happy to be hearing so many Flying-Fort-related comments. Before this forum I was sure that I was the only one who had a love for that plane
it's neat when you manage to see them fly about town; it's one thing to see them on the runway, another matter entirely when flying overhead!Jerekson said:Hey, thanks for the info, Spitfire.
They're coming to my area later this month - I'll be sure to check it out! I'm excited!
