I haven't gotten any news from "FIFI" since they flew up to Oshkosh. I know the crew chief and he usually e-mails me about the trips. I am not for sure how many B24's are flying these days other than the one of ours and the one that belongs to the Collings group. I need to due some research on that.

The B24 that the Collings Foundation was restored by retired employees. It is unpainted, but it has the workers name on it. I saw it a few years ago at the old Naval Air Staion in Dallas.

Field trip ta Pungo enjoyin' the station wagon's AC 'n lookin' for eagles. They're smarter than me. They're roostin' in the shade.

Went by the museum. Had a bunch of planes out. A couple of bi-wing, dual cockpit trainers with Navy markin's on 'em 'n a Mustang (link below, that specific airplane). All three very close to the side parkin' lot.

They had several of the WWI planes back in the Fighter Factory. Reckon maybe for PMs.

In the main parkin' lot there were plates from New York (2), New Jersey, Carolina, Wisconsin, Tennessee 'n Quebec.

The D/FW wing of the CAF is having a one day AirShow on Sat. Sept. 3 at the Lancaster, Tx airport. The airport is southeast of Dallas east of I35E. I hope that the heat won't be too bad. I am looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.

Well, "FIFI" is back at Addison for a little R&R before the Fall Air Show tours start. They are still working on the engines on Ol' 927. I don't know if she will be ready for our local show on Sept 3.  We will have PX's and booths to man for the show. They also had a classic car in conjunction wirh the festivities. I am sure it will be HOT, so plenty of water is in order.

One heck of a pilot for sure!  You can see where he stalled the engines for a low pass.  Very nice flying.

Leo, We are having our local "Warbirds on Parade" on Sat. from 10 to 4. I'll say hello to Ol' 927(aka Diamond Lil) for you if she's there. The last time I was at Addison, they were having to replace all four engine mounts as well as repair #1 engine. It will be fun, but hot. I am working the PX in the main hangar, so I won't get too hot or a bad sunburn.

Leo, You can see Ol' 927 on the B24/B29 CAF Squadron web site.  We have a special member of the squadron, His name is Jack Bradshaw. Jack is 92 and he gets around better than I do. He flew with the Eagle Squadron in the Battle Of Britain, where he scored 2 and a half kills. After Pearl Harbor, he joined the AAC and flew P-51s and P-47s. He scored 2 more kills. Jack is a real piece of history.

I have been so fortunate to be able to talk with a lot of these great men, Tex Hill, Bob Morgan(Pilot of Memphis Belle), George Gay(Only survivor of Torpedo 8 in the Battle of Miday), Gabbie Grabretsky, and Paul Tibbits(Pilot of Enola Gay). It was exciting to talk them.
