I have never been to the show, but the museum in itself is worth the trip out. I would love to hear which veterans you are going to have with you.

I have 2 confirmed as of today, Capt. Pete Mullinax and Lt. Col. John Lee. here are their bios

Capt. James A. "Pete" Mullinax
Is a WWII Veteran and a B-17 Flying Fortress pilot with the 8th Air Force, 94th Bomb Group, 332nd B.S. His 9th mission was to attack the heavily defended ball bearing plants at Schwienfurt, Germany on 14 Oct. 1943. After releasing the bombs on target, his B-17 was attacked by German fighters, forcing Mullinax and his crew to bail out over enemy territory. He was captured and after recovering from his wounds, spent the remainder of the war in a POW camp http://www.fridrichdesign.com/mauric...oesbyfate.html

Those are great pics. I see the A-20 is still there. I am wondering why they would sell that thing off.

Yeah, Thunderbird is a great looking B-17. I see it every year at Oshkosh. I was surprised last year to see it got a new paint job. Same markings , just new paint. Really a well upkept aircraft.
