Ontly question is, who's idear was it ta put a fat bulls eyse on each wing

[Ozark Tracker]

Don't seem like too good an idea does it,  maybe they figured if it was rifles shooting at em, that it'd be better to have em aimin at the wings rather than the engine or pilot.  ya notice they didn't put no bullseye under either one of them.

Seein' the Pungo place is plannin' on puttin' their Corsair in the air this weekend. 

[Texas Lawdog]

Arcey, They had a feature on the Museum a couple of weeks ago on the Military Channel. They had some good video of the planes inside the hangar.

[Arcey]

Still don't understand 'em. Ya gottah toot yer own horn. They fly the ones airworthy, damned near all of 'em, regular 'n the only way the folks what might wanna watch know is checkin' their website. By the time I knew they'd acquired the B-25 it was already there, on the ground 'n in the hanger.

Ain't my operation. They kin run it the way they want.

[Texas Lawdog]

I'm thinkin' about goin' over to that Museum in N. Dallas and applying to be a Volunteer. I ain't no aircraft mechanic, but I can sweep the floor and dust off the planes.

[Arcey]

Wanna be a consultant myself. Was it the place in Richmond where they've got the Blackbird sittin' out in the weather.

Was inside lookin' it a beautiful ole gal. Had a kitty litter pan under the motor 'n she's steady leakin' oil. Asked the tour guide if she was ever gonna fly again. Said no. Suggested they drain the crankcase.

Must drink Sam Adams. Don't make no sense.

[Texas Lawdog]

I'll let you know if I get hired or not.  Stay away from that Sam Adams it might ruin your taste buds.

Watched a Harrison Ford movie with Lil called Hanover Street.  It boarders on "chick flick" but has some good shots of repro B-25's.  Can't say how well they did with the interiors cause I never been inside one.

Leo,   Most of the B 25s used in that movie were owned by folks in England and France.  There are a lot of American WW2 planes owned by folks in England , Canada, and Europe.

[Leo Tanner]

Well that's just a sin.

Leo,  If ya wanna see a beautiful LADY, Look up Miss Mitchell. She is part of the CAF and is assigned to the Minnesota Wing.  The original "Miss Mitchell" was in the same Bomb Group of the 12th AF that my Dad was assigned. He was in a different Squadron. His outfit was what was the Doolittle Raider outfit after it was reorganized and sent to North Africa.  There are only about 35 B 25s in existence.
