Photos from the family trip in either 1981 or '82. If anyone can identify the whereabouts of the planes in the photos please do.

The HE-111 is no longer with us, and Tinker Bell is in NC as of several weeks/months ago.

The B-17 is Aluminum Overcast. They blew an engine during the show, and took off after the show to return home on three engines.

The silver P-40M I guess would be Destefani's, now "Jackie C" with Clyman in Farmingdale?

The Corsair withe the "G" on the tail was owned & flown by the late Merle Gustafson. It is now with Kermit Weeks at Fantasy of Flight in Florida. :f4u:

What happened to it? I always wondered, but never quite got around to inquiring somehow. It was a heck of an interesting airplane to see.

Jeff I think it might be Briefing Time.

If I remember correctly from reading Forgotton Widow the book mentions taking Briefing Time to some of the CAF shows once it was restored. I think it was at one of those shows that the Strine's first got word of the P-61. 8)
