Been in John Van Andel's TBM 88HP. GREAT RIDE!!!! I still smile when i think about it!!!
I was supposed to go with Robbie in Chapter XI but I never seemed to be in the right place at the right time. That was back in the wings of war days. Shame where chapter XI is now!!! But not been in a B-25 is my fault. I could have gone in Dean Martin's B-25 "pacific princess" when he owned it here in VT before she became in the hands of the LSFM.

So the list
N3N-3........................about 30 yrs worth and still going!
TBM John Andel
P-51 Gary Mc Cann CF-FUZ
C-45 Tampa Air Center
Ford Tri motor Capt. Al Chaney. ISLAND AIRWAYS (right seat 30 min)
C-47 Business Air N54NA, jumpseat/right seat, Burlington to Hartford overnight & return to BTV
C-47 Business Air N54NA Jump seat/Navigator table. Burlington Hartford & back.
DC-3 Northeast Airlines....Dakota Aviation Museum, Nashua NH 1.7 hrs dual (left seat)
L-19.........CAP airplane

Wish List
UH-1 B,C,m,D or H...............not picky just want a vietnam vet
B-25............

Yankee Lady will be selling flex rides at GML 07. Where better to fly in a B-17 than at a place where you're surrounded by P-51's?

No offense meant mustang but you are a rather large person. How in the hell did you stuff yourself into the back seat of a P-51?
