Several years ago, a guy in Hawkins, Texas advertised a Hurricane for sale at $900,000 in TradeAPlane. The plane had seen a tion in Singapore  I am curious to know whether it might be the same one at Lingo.

The Mosquito's up and running. The page contains images and a short video.

I wish I knew the arrival time for the Lancaster. All I see is it'll be there this weekend.

Arcey,  Are they adding a Lancaster to the collection,,at Pungo? Lancaster in flying condition in the USA is a rarity. It will be a welcome addition to the collection.

She's just visiting from Canada. Warbirds Over the Beach is this weekend. They'll have a few guests.

There's a great chance of the biggest crowd the museum's had yet. There's no air show at Oceana this year because of the marxists in DC. They're buying votes with the money.

I have seen that one at the CAF AirSho in Midland,  Texas. I also saw it at an Air Museum in Calgary.

[Arcey]

Like to see it myself. Thinking about going in this year. If I can park the station wagon on the Princess Anne Road end of the land bound vehicle parking field I can take a camp chair 'n watch from there. I haven't decided yet. Much depends on what happens between now and then.

Arcey, Just remember to wear a hat and plenty of Sun block.

[Arcey]

Will do, thankee.

I have had some skin cancers removed due to exposure to the sun. My Dad had part of the tip of his nose removed.

[Arcey]

The dermatologist has warned against exposure to the sun. Had one taken off my nose back in January. Bought a UV shirt just after. Long sleeved and large enough to cover the Glocks with the shirt tail out.

[Arcey]

Like this one but mine's white.

[Texas Lawdog]

That is a good idea. I wonder if they have them in big sizes? I had red hair when I was younger,but I still have the ruddy complexion. I have enough Cherokee in me that I do not burn easily.

I was just down there, missed that Hurricane, etc.  Did see the Storch fly.  Weeks came out and told us a nice story about his B-17s.  I loved that place.

Their B-17,  "Chuckie" came to the Museum at Pungo via the Vintage Flight Museum in Fort Worth, of which I am a member.

I sthat teh static exhibit?  He was talking about one he flew back.  It was dmeolished in the hurricane.

They  flew "Chuckie" from Fort Worth to Pungo. I have not received any info on it being destroyed. I volunteer at the Vintage Flight Museum and I know "Chuckie" Hospers, the former owner. I am a Life Member of the CAF.

[Arcey]

Chuckie was alive and well just before noon this morning. She was sitting outside of the Fighter Factory when I was out checking the produce stands. She'll be in the air Saturday.

I didn't see a trace of the Lancaster, Tex. If it's there they've stuck it behind the German hangar or the factory.

[Texas Lawdog]

Thanks for the info on"Chuckie". I am glad she is okay. I have a strong attachment to that B-17.

[Arcey]

Rode past the museum. I could see 'em in the air before I got there. Found a decent place off the road to park the station wagon. Got out 'n crossed the road for a better view – it rains. Aggravating when you're in it and look at the sky three miles towards Carolina and it's a pretty, bright blue.

[Arcey]

Suppose I missed some of the fun yesterday. I was at the other end of the place. The fire department had to get a couple jumpers out of trees. As I understand it paratroopers were hung up in trees frequently in WWII. They must have been going for realism.
