Great pics!

I didn't realize that Briefing Time had been on the airshow circuit that long. How time flies!

So that was you "tailgating" our B-23 at Airsho 80

Does anyone know the ID of the Silver B-25?

Yes the silver B-25 is B-25J, C-CGWJ, 45-8884. I have a few slides that I will dig out and scan before the day is over.

Found the slides of B-25J C-CGWJ 45-8884. All four of these were taken by me on 11-11-80 at
Harlingen, TX.

Robbie,

We were honking the horn and flashing the headlights, but ya'll wouldn't pull over and let us pass!

John,

I'm glad you got some good shots of "The Death Watch". I don't know how I didn't get any. I must have ran out of film in the old Kodak X-15 instamatic.

Wow! Memories! That was my first major airshow....Had to ride a Greyhound from Ft Worth to get to Harlingen....Stepped off the bus and saw the largest cockroach I'd ever seen in my life...Rode it out to the airport...

Did anybody get pictures of the B-26 Carolyn, in the maint. hangar? Or pictures of the A-20 in flight?

Death Watch was my Grandfather's B-25 45-8884 C-GCWJ before he had it repainted as HO*262 City of Edmonton. It flies now in Minnesota as "Lady Luck".
