Here is some of the photos from a display we did at the Stockton airport in May. The first day we were up for 41 hours but I guess being around the 17 and 24 just kept us up and going! We loaded 7 concrete bombs into the 24 and they dropped them on a target near Eagle field. Man was this event a blast!!

Sounds like you had fun! It would be very cool to drop bombs on a target, even if they were concrete "duds". From what altitude did you bomb the target? What was the target? How accurately did you hit it? Any strike photos available? How about some video?

Speaking of which. . . did you ever see the video of the B-25 dropping a whole load of pumpkins on a target somewhere in the midwest around Halloween? Fun stuff!

Cheers!

Dean,
They dropped them from 3000 feet at a truck in the desert and the farthest one away was only 83 feet! Pretty good shooting I think. Never saw the pumpkin one but that sounds cool!
