Going to be a tough day to get anything done
« on: August 24, 2013, 11:12:11 AM »
Every 20-30 minutes I have either a B-17, B-24 or one of few 2 seater Mustangs in existence flying over my house!

The airport near my house in on the Collins Foundation tour.

The B-17 is one of only 9 in flying condition in the United States, the B-24J and Dual Control P-51C Mustang are the sole remaining examples of their type flying in the world.

Cool! Not a bad way to spend a Saturday... watching these vintage airplanes fly over your house.

Pop a brew, sit in a lawn chair, and ENJOY the view!

Love those war birds!  Consider yourself lucky that you get to see them in the air.   :2vrolijk_21:

WW II airplane freak. Sorry I missed this. Saw some great stuff in Reading PA earlier this year. Sound of Merlin equipped Mustang is 100% unique. Don't make them like that anymore.     JoeS

My dad was a Flight Engineer on B-24's in WWII. Last year the Witchcraft was in Hickory, NC for a show. I went out to the airport and they took my Dad on a flight to Asheville, NC which was their next show. Never saw a 92 year old kid before!!!

Going to be another long day.............. B-17 500 feet over my house 5 minutes ago. What a sound, only surpassed by the single Mustang that only flies over once in a while.
