Highlander Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 On Saturday I got to go to American Aero Services open house and get a good look at the Collings Foundations bomber collection. They have one of two flying B24s left,the Witchcraft, a B25 and a B17 the 909. They also have a F4U-5 Corsair night fighter and a Russian trainer. I had a great talk with a 85 year old B24 tailgunner who had alot of great stories and info about the planes. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logos Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 ~S~ Highlander. Thanks for the nice pics. I concur with BG. Damn! That's one well polished and detailed F4U-5. Sweet! The F4U Corsair happens to be my favorite aircraft of any era and that one looked marvelous. I dig bombers too. Witchcraft looked awesome as well. A few years back the local airport had a small air show that did manage to bring in a lone B-25. It actually flew over my mobile home at what appeared to be below 500 feet!. I thought it was an earthquake when I first heard the sound of it approaching. Those pilots have to be wearing ear plugs or sound deadening headsets. I got up real close to it and you are right. Oil leaking all over the place. I guess it's well lubed so no problem. Thanks again mate. Logos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
