I would do this in a heart beat if I had the time off work. Wish you were in Houston area. I’d clean your toilets just to be able to touch those war birds. There is nothing, nothing on earth better than the sound of radials. I have such an immense respect for what the pilots went through, both bombers and fighters, but the bomber crews had balls of steel. I can’t imagine what it was like to be in those planes with bullets and cannon shells exploding and tearing through the airframe you’re flying in.
FIFI is going to be in New Orleans, LA from October 22 to October 25 in conjunction with the National World War II Museum (the museum that Stephen Ambrose helped set up).
Maybe you could make it to that airshow? I will probably be there.
