They have to find some way to relieve stress! Glad they still have a sense of humor.

Something tells me that one in the B25 isn't in the service. On second look, that's not a B25....any idea what that plane is?
Funny no matter what. |

B26 Marauder, maybe? The Lancaster has 4 engines.

Not a B26, they had a more pointed nose....that's what my dad flew 74 missions in (IIRC), during WW2, side gunner/radioman.
Now that I look at it again it does kind of look like a 26 from the back of the nose cone back, but 26's had the wings mounted way up on top and they were much more cigar shaped see Bill's picture. This one is flatter on top, similar to the 25's and the nose looks more like a 25. 25's had twin tails though. The humor can't be beat. |

Hey Bill, is that your picture of the B-26? If so, where did you take that? My Uncle Bill (lives in Pahrump, NV) 88 years old, was a Navigator and flew with my Dad (that's how Dad met Mom), would probably like to see that.

Bill that Sept thing looks like a lot of fun, however it would have to be my uncle as my dad passed away 6 years ago. My uncle would probably love it though, after the war he had his pilots license and built a couple of different airplanes. My dad on the other hand never got into another airplane again...hated flying.

Oops, sorry, my bad. Yea, your uncle would love it. It varies year to year if any "Bs" show up for the static display. And the past few years, they've been doing the $400 ride in a B thing. |
