Shame. I shall miss the old girl. Surprisingly graceful for such a beast.

As will I. Still we have "Little Demon" to look forward to.

The P-47, My favorite!!  Great shots!!! :)

Is she done flying or is she coming to the States? ( I hope the States!! :) )

  God, please don't let her become a static display at a museum!!!!
