The BAHF wanted to stay low on this one, until the press leaked out the story.

They knew the “Angel of Deliverance” might not be ready for take-off even when lining up on the runway,
so just to avoid many sad faces they did not contact the press, etc…

They were right, this C-97G Stratofreighter behaved somewhat temperamental this Wednesday 31 May and Thursday 1 June…..

Surprised this doesn’t get more coverage. Isn’t it essentially a civilian B29?

CANCELLED yet again. 🙁

Yesterday engine three would not play ball, do not know what it was this Thursday.
A succesful third try this Friday 02 June ? :eagerness: :confused:

At least no disastrous “Press On It-is” over there in New York! :applause:
