We’ve operated out of grass with 909 and our B-24 quite a bit. In fact we look forward to it because it is easy on tires and there is nothing like landing on grass…nothing. We flew Tondelayo out of Geneseo last year as well, another great time that posed no operational hazards.

In the latest issue of Air Classics it is reported that the FG-1D
that was recently completed by Vintage Fighters has been sold to an overseas buyer. Anybody know which “sea”?

Thanks guys. I usually make a couple trips to the museum each year, now I have a great excuse. They are still taking inventory and unpacking from the move. It is going to be quite some time before any visible progress is made. The first task I think on the agenda is to strip the paint inside and out and arrest any corrosion.

Many thanks on the Beaufighter correction…I will do that immediately!!

enjoy the photos! I will be posting photos from the 2006 Collings Foundation Tour as it progresses across the states.

Probably a shot of the missing man formation done at Ypsilanti by 4 B-17s. As they flew over taps played in the background. Between that, and the drone of 4 17’s going over there was not a dry eye on the field.

Hi Mark…not sure of our schedule that far down the road. We will probably do Ft Collins again sometime in late july. I have been bugging Ryan about getting us into the Mustang Gathering next year. Hopefully our schedule will allow this to happen.

One of the guys at Stallion 51 told us that we missed Yeager by about a week getting recurrent in the Mustang. That was in late February.
