Default From Palwaukee flying overhead here all this weekend....the sound is just wonderful!!

Three WWII warbirds.

B-25 Mitchell...

B-17 Flying Fortress (painted very much like this one)...

B-24 Liberator. Some special meaning as my next-door neighbor at our summer place was a tail gunner on one of these flying from North Africa to bomb Eastern Europe, and survived bailing out of a damaged plane over Greece. He passed away last year, a good and quiet here.

(Actually, theL is the one of the three I have yet to see fly over. Gonna go wash the car in case it does.)

Default B-24, as you know. We had a 17, and a Mustang here years ago, and the Mustang actually

flew formation with, IIRC, a 16. That was cool.

Default Saw the B-17 on the way to dinner last night in Evanston.

Wonderful sight. Image hundreds of those in formation on their way to the target.

Going to or from Oshkosh for sure - so cool to see that big iron still flying.

couldn't tell if it was a B-24 or 25 but I saw one out in Wauconda late last week.
