Re: Aircraft pics
Quick action with the camera Bart. I am not sure who's airplane that is but it looks like a possible G model. The only G model with a Yellow tail that comes to mind is Pima Air Museums B17G "I'll be Around" though I am not positive that they ever fly that airplane but I believe it is airworthy. When you get pictures I will be able to see. The serial number for the above is 231892 with a Black square on the tail and the letter "J" inside it. Neat shot.

Re: Aircraft pics
As it turned out while I was sitting in line with the kids at the local In "N" Out Burger an hour later it flew over again. About 5 minutes later it began to rain and I never made it to the airport, but I'll be home all day tomorrow and if this guy continues to cruise the sky's over the hood, I'll have the camera ready again.

Re: Aircraft pics
Pretty sure that yellow-tail B-17G is "Fuddy Duddy" based at Orange County and I see it parked there all the time. Owned by a retired USAF general, William Lyons, who made his money building housing subdivisions.

Re: Aircraft pics
47Hammer, you must not be too far away from me. When I lived in Van Nuys I used to love when they had the air show and they'd buzz the house. I would always take the Monday off after the show to watch the bulk of the aircraft leave. I have some video of the last time a B-29 came through Van Nuys, fly overs of the B-2 and a B-1B and B-52 high speed pass. It's really cool to see them in action up close.

Re: Aircraft pics
Thanks to Andy for sharing this with me. A very touching video of a Legacy and his plane. It's a must watch.

Re: Aircraft pics
Andy & Rick,
Thanks for sharing that moving tribute to the P-51 and its original pilot. It's so nice to see and hear something positive & reaffirming about military service for a change...... That seems like a very close and warm family. So nice to see. Nuch
