Pretty cool to see this old war bird out on the ramp. This bird carried the Battalion CC to the drop zone on D-Day, it flew in sycilian operations and Operation Market Garden
Here is the story on it:

My son is the curator for the Airpower Museum )CAF). They currently have 164 warbirds flying including FiFi the last flying B29. Here is the Bee I bought from Charlie with a couple old dolls. Let's keep them in the air.

The local Mustang Clubs gather for shows with the P51 Mustangs. Where would that leave a Camaro? Showing with ME109s?

A little bit more news. I was able to hear these Airman's story today in the Base theater. Two Airmen telling it like it was leading up to D-Day and the mission. Then turn around the next day to do supply drops......70 years ago.
