My girlfriend and I went for a flight in "Liberty Belle" back in April. I am jealous! We had to sit by the left waist gun until we were airborne. I would have loved to sit up there and watch the props spin.

The paperwork on the Radio Operator's station was a nice touch. Of the flying 17's I have seen this year I think I liked Aluminum Overcast the best. Oxygen hoses on the walls, the navigators seat actually in the nose. Hard to believe she used to be a fire ant bomber in the 60's! I...

This may or may not be the right thread to post this in, but here it goes. I just picked up a pair of A-6A's. Overall they are in good condition. There are a few tears in the leather but I am looking for a local shop to repair those. The question I have is, what is the best way to clean up...

Howard the Duck I know it's not really "vintage" but it does fall under weird and forgotten. B movie sci-fi film that was good for mind numbing entertainment. I just wish they would re-release it on DVD.

On a side note. Does anyone know what the round opening was for in plexiglass nose? I have asked a few bombardier veterans and no one knew. The only thing I could think of would be to wipe off the glass in front of the norden, but I can't imagine putting your hand out there at 25k feet.

Wow.. I never would have guessed it based on the amount of flights they had booked the day I went up for a flight. This is a sad bit of news.

Greetings All, I had been looking at the brass bomb tags on Aero's website earlier. The shipping from the UK would be alot more than the item itself. Does anyone know of a source in the US or Canada? I figure this is a long shot, but worth asking. Thanks!

I had a chance to see this 51 last weekend in Sacramento. Nothing like the sound of radials!

I had a choice of Vertical Challenge or the dance. I left it up to the better half and she is dragging me onto the dance floor. :eusa_doh:

They actually do. It's down near Salinas. Eagle Field. They are having a hangar dance June 21st. Eagle Field

I need to look into this more. I am getting pushed to put together a set of pinks and greens.
