    AWESOME!!

    The reporter is an idiot. A P-51 Mustang is NOT a "fighter jet." It is a propeller-driven pursuit fighter, hence the "P" designation.

    Fighter jet. Pffft.

    It's cool that Witchcraft showed up. You should get out there and try to get some pics of it with your truck. I'm sure the security guys are Taco people too.

    Don't forget to tell them you're a mod.

    I didn't doubt you! I followed statistics. There're a LOT more 25s than the two remaining 24s. That you got the only B-24J in existence in your town proves your specialness.

    In truth...I'm more than a wee bit :jellydance:. Liberators are cool, and I prefer them over B-17s.

    Now go get some PICS!!!!

    Yeah, but if your hydraulics are shot up during the mission, the mains will still drop down and lock hard, I should think. Good battle design.

    Dude, we watched that movie in SNCO Academy. There was even a poster print on the wall called "6 turning and 4 burning" of a B-36 painting in my office at Fairchild AFB. Big bastard - they tried to turn a version of it into a long-distance passenger liner, and would have until Boeing crapped out the 707 and changed the whole game.

    We also watched 12 O'Clock High as an example of situational leadership, and Master and Commander as a lesson on active leadership.

    And to be fair Capt there's a 17, 24 and 25....could have been the 25 I saw yeterday as it was pretty light colored, the 24 is too dark :cool:

    Sitting at the end of the runway now, hoping they take off in my direction. They were loading folks when I left the airport....

    In the time that I've been sitting here waiting a United flight has landed, taxied, offloaded, reloaded, and is getting ready to take off again. Still no sign of the B17 or B24....must have a hell of a preflight...

    I believe all 4 of these aircraft are from the Collings Foundation

    http://www.collingsfoundation.org/

    That P-51C is a beauty ... A real dual control P-51

    I was with you until 'Master and Commander' ... Flying Leathernecks or Bridges at Toko Ri
    Maybe even Tora, Tora, Tora or The Blue Max

    No boats without wings

    Sorry but I am watching 'BAT 21' as I type

    Love that movie! There used to be an RB-66 at Bergstrom on static display. I never would have known that was a real plane if I hadn't seen the static bird. They didn't have a long service life.

    There's still an O-2 on display at Security Hill on Lackland (former Kelly) AFB.

    The pilots flying the helos and that O-2 in BAT 21 are awesome
