Planes of Fame Pics Posted

I have consolidated my Planes of Fame photo albums from 2003 and 2005 into one album. I also added into that album my pics from my 1997 visit which are NEW to Webshots, and a number of pics from 1999 which Tom Roberts generously gave me which are also posted for the first time.

EDIT: I now have the BuNo for the Fireball.

I doubt anyone has an ID for the Betty bomber, but it can’t hurt to ask…

That Betty is reported to be a G4M1 Type 1 “Betty” Model 11 now with the Planes of Fame Museum. A previous owner was the Museum of Flying. But I can’t find any info about it’s serial.

Greets,
