Wonderful, good to see the pilot dressing in period gear (or something close to it) as well.

Thanks Jack.

Wasn't there a Blue Noser a couple years ago that had one real and one replica 108 gallon tank?

Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket, that's just jaw-droppingly awesome. Hell, I've got chills just looking at it. :) Now to get her in a formation with "Daddy's Girl", "Cripes", and a few other period-accurate restorations along with a few B-17s... oh yeah, baby!

Simply scrumtrulescent, Jack (and Martin!)- thanks for posting'em!
