Was getting ready to grill and I hear that distinct sound...this was no Baron on final into Bel-Air Intl  ;D  After seeing her fly over, followed by a B-17, I knew something was up, so today I drove onto Moffett and drove by the air field to see what was up, sure enough, the birds were on display  8-)

Love the bomb graffiti  ;D

Is that a story or something on the last pic?

It's names, I believe it's the names of everyone who put something into the restoration of the bird, not positive though.

That is the list of all the people that donated money, worked on and flew the aircraft.  I hope to be going up in her in August!!

I saw this one last year also. It's a great plane. They didn't bring the B-25 with them?

No, they only brought a P-51, B17, B24, a couple of Bi Planes, a Mentor, and a couple Navy birds that I haven't figured out yet, I'll post the other birds later today.

The first time I saw the B-24 she was painted as " The Dragon and His Tail" which flew in the Pacific Theatre. These shots were taken August 1999 at South Jersey Regional Airport (KVAY).

I was reading about that on their webpage earlier today.  I'm pretty sure I saw some shots of it painted like that here at SimV...

When I saw the B-24 a few years ago, it had that dragon nose art on it also. I wonder what made them re-paint it...? ;D
