Need help identifying a Wings of Eagles show 97 to 01?

Wed Mar 03, 2010 9:38 am

I'm going through and scanning my old prints and I have 5 rolls which I took at a Wings of Eagles show in Elmira sometime between 1997 and 2001.

My guess is 1998 ...

Notable warbirds that were there:
B-17s (Fuddy Duddy, Texas Raiders, Yankee Lady)
B-25 (Hot Gen)
B-24 (Golden Girl)
Avro Lancaster KB726

No P-38 .

Other notables ...
A Harrier, static and demonstration
A B-2 flyover
Tora Tora Tora

Any help is appreciated.

1998 did not have a B-24 at it.

B-17s Yankee Lady,. Memphis Belle, Fuddy Duddy and Texas Raider

A-26, P-63, AD-4, F-86 C-46, PV-2 where some of the other highlights of the show. Thunder Birds were the main act (at least for those not into B-17s)

Thanks Tim, the plot thickens then.

The key might be the AVRO Lancaster, since there is only 1 still flying on this side of the atlantic.
