They could picture Rosie riding the pig like when Slim Pickens rode the atom bomb at the end of Dr. Strangelove.

That is a pretty good site. We had that plane and another bomber down at the local airport not too long ago. Ollie North was using one of them as a backdrop for a filming of Fox's War Stories.

Another reason to love Florida... some great airshows. Had a terrific "Gathering of Mustangs" a few years ago, and I think someone else wants to have a gathering of Corsairs.

I found instructions for flying a B24 !! Whoooo Hooooo !..........

Just make sure you don't have any ragheads or pimply Florida teenagers on board with you on your flight!

In October of 2000 I had the great opportunity to go up flying in that B-17 here in Tyler,TX. The guys at the CAF were great, and it was such an honor to get to fly in this awesome bird. I hope you enjoy the pics.

That's me on the right. :)

That must have been a great ride! Thanks for the photos.

I was over by Hobbs, NM when Chuck Yeager spoke to the CAF last Saturday. I am sorry I missed a chance to meet him. I could get a 24 up, but coming down might be a bit hairy.

Note to all the CAF airshow will be in Oct.

Almost all flying warbirds in the USA will be there.

It's a week long shindig ending in the Battle of Pearl Harbour.

[Squantos]

Will that October show be in Midland or Hobbs NM Bert, Sorry I missed the General ???

Never a worry Piasa....I'm still a student pilot "offically" so no riders allowed ......besides I suspect they are allergic to the 230 grains of "pollen" I usually have on me .....:o)

Ya'll Stay safe !

For all these things we give thee thanks, O Lord!
Thanks to you both for all the high-octane nose art and Vargas work.
