I remember seeing 009 when it was based at NAF Mildenhall, UK all the time - nice to see an old face again.

Thanks for sharing. Great to see one of those grand old propliners still earning its keep.

Hope it can keep going for another year or two at least and maybe it could be painted in vintage Navy markings for the 2011 Centennial of Naval Aviation and maybe make a few air shows in the Carolinas/Georgia/Florida/Virginia,etc.
