I usually go watch 'em take off and land all day and snap some pics. Come on up to mine and Black6's neighborhood -- we'll snap pics of your ride (and live vicariously through you)

Great pics and thank you! I also like "7 of 9" from Star Trek Voyger. Even though she was a Borg. "Resistence is futile"

Nice pics Folgore, thanks for posting. "Witchcraft" is the former "Dragon and His Tail," correct? Love that livery.

[mustangdriver]

That is correct. I heard that "909" is getting a repaint down the road as well.

MD do you know what paint scheme yet?!

[tank nut]

Wow, man I am so jeolous right now LOL. I would love to get inside and see what one of these things looks like, to neat. I wonder how noisy these things are in fight?

[mustangdriver]

I have not heard what is going to be up coming for the paint scheme. As for the things being loud on the inside? Yeah, but not over bearing. I flew the B-17 and had headsets in the cockpit, but once I left the flight deck, I had no headsets. You can get a real sense of what it was like by being in one fo those things for a few minutes.

The Collings Foundation's warbirds are back at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, Calif., this weekend on the Wings of Freedom 2008 tour. Which is a lot like the Wings of Freedom 2007 tour, plus one -- the dual control P-51 Betty Jane. Herewith is a picture of the same, plus a shot of the B-25 Tondelayo, which I missed last year as it was off flyin' around.

[Cruver Collecter]

Neat shot of the two seater P-51. Have not seen that one before.

They look great thanks for posting the pictures Folgore..
