If they show the movie "Catch 22" maybe Stoney cold be talked into telling the gathering a little bit about flying in the film?

It looks to be about 30 - 35 B-25s in North America, that are "flyable".

Wow! That'll be great! I remember some time in the 1990s there were eight B-25s present at the Breckenridge (Texas) show, which was claimed to be the largest gathering since Catch 22 was filmed. All eight flew in the show, too! It was quite a sight.

Cheers!


Roger that Dean, I was thinking the same thing as I started to read this one. Those were the good ole days.....

Well, at least it is not the same weekend as Geneseo Airshow. I'll pencil it into my calendar with the hopes of making it. 2007 might be a very interesting year and I’m trying not to plan too many events.

Gonna' have to think about '07 Thunder. We'll have just gotten back from France and may not have the $$$ left over.

Don't forget about all of those American dollars that have sent north of the border. Of course he didn't bother to mention the Canadian dollars going south, but then that would defeat a perfectly good arguement! :roll:
