Anyone on the John W Brown cruise on June 1?

Sun Jun 02, 2013 11:51 am

Hi ya'll,

The John W Brown Liberty Ship made one of its Living History cruises out of Baltimore on June 1. Wanted to see if any WIXers or friends of WIXers were on board yesterday? I was in the backseat of the TBM and hoped somebody got good shots.

Whose TBM?

I was out by the Bay for a wedding yesterday evening. If I knew the John W Brown was out and about and there was a TBM flyover, I would have headed out there earlier!

Hey Sax,

It's an ex-CAF TBM now owned by a New England owner. We were part of the 'airshow' that involved an L-4, TBM, Yak-52TW (Zero), Ken Laird's Val, and MAAM's B-25J. We were over the ship for about 10 minutes, most of which was in a turn. Great ride.

Is "White 4" going to fly? Last I heard she was grounded because of a leaky landing gear strut. I drop by Jack Kosko's place in Fawn Grove to help out about once a month, that's where I heard she wasn't flying. It would be great to see her back in the air again.
