You really get an idea of just how big the B-24 is in that shot.

Wait just a minute!
I thought "Shoo Shoo Baby" was a B-17!
You mean to tell me that the NMUSAF actually has two B-24's?! :wink:
Boy, have I missed the boat! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cool shot Jack!
Thanks.

Are you positive they are not LB-30s?

Are you positive they are not LB-30s?

Only whne you need a type rating to fly a B-24 :shock:

So, is there any relationship between this aircraft and the B-17 at Wright-Pat? Same pilot, perhaps?

"(Shoo) Shoo Shoo Baby" was the title of a popular song at the time, and the name ended up getting applied to a bunch of different aircraft (but no LB-30s I'm aware of 8) .)

What about that A-26 with a turbine in the nose? You could get six wrist bands.
