Yesterday, the Collings Foundation's WWII bombers were at my local airport (KMGJ) in Montgomery, NY.

Since it is only about 10 minutes away, I naturally was there. Present was their B-25 and B17.

Here's an overview shot

B-25

Waiting to climb into the B-17.
It was happy to see many children there who were all excited (even the girls) about "all the airplanes". Hopefully they are future aviiators and/ or GA supporters

Also there was another oganization present that brought a few WWII vehicles, and played era

Nice shots!!

What happen to the B-24 Witchcraft? It was in Cape May, NJ in August and I know it had a brake problem then.

Good old Orange County Airport... landed there a few times.
And very cool that the Collings gang stopped there!
Isn't it amazing(and good) that little kids still get a kick out of old airplanes?

How do you like that Sherman, Willit? ;)

Love that Sherman!! Looks like it's in great condition and ready to go into battle. Remember the movie "Tank" with James Garner. That's what the Sherman reminds me of!

Don't think I've ever seen that one; I was thinking of Kelly's Heroes... LOL.

I've been to see both of them, and was in the B-17 when they were here at PBI.

I was supposed to fly in the B-17, but unfortunately not enough people signed up.

My God, How could I forget the three Shermans in Kelly's Heroes. That is one of my favorite movies. I even had Oddball as my avatar for a while and my signature was the whole group riding on a Sherman!!

Took you long enough to remember all that... ::)

What was the quote? "I don't know how they work, I just drive 'em" or something.

Nice shots Joe. I saw all those birds plus a certain moderator in Farmingdale over Labor Day weekend.

" I only ride 'em, I don't know what makes 'em work. "
