A few things that needs to be straightened up, if you mind Gentlemen. Being onvolved in the La Ferte airshow and a ggod friend of the new owner of the contra-prop Spitfire :
– said Spitfire left Chino a couple of days ago or is still about to. Heading to the East coast on a trailor to be loaded on cargo ship, to save 15 days at sea if it had been loaded on a cargo ship on the west coast. Goal is to have it flying in time to be displayed at LFA (aka La Ferte Alais). If things goes according to plan, I dont’ think we would display it static only, because if that monster makes it to LFA, it will have to do so flyinf :dev2:
– there will be no Lancaster at LFA. BBMF declined the invitation, as it meant expanding quite a few flying hours for one airshow vs. many demands in UK owing to 60th anniversary of allied victory in Europe. No contact has been made with CWH, as this thing is still very much a rumor.
– bookings have been confirmed so far for : Hawk 75+Spit V+Hurricane from TFC, Me 109G-4, Jacquard Corsair, French markings Corsair, Spitfire Mk XIX contra-prop, Achim Meyer’s Yak-3. + resident P-51D Nooky Booky, B-17 The Pink Lady, Ju 52, Skyraider, Yak-11s, etc
Date is may 14 and 15.
Ya’ll welcome but beer is not on me ! 😀
