Oh yeah! It is sweet.I love the fact that if I get up from my chair, I can see a B-17 right out the window. I am not used to that.

I love the Liberty Belle!

But until TEXAS RAIDERS is back in the air my only inflight pictures are from Liberty Belle. :D

Great pix, Spanner! Golly Gee if that doesn't look like the Tomball nutria ranch about June of '06. I dug out my photos from that day and looked for you. I was hanging around in my Lone Star 'uniform' T shirt waiting for some friends to show up.
I talked with a couple of people that day who had had involvement with Texas Raiders. Were you involved with Lone Star at any time?

Wow! :shock: Liberty Belle sure gets around!


I kinda wished they kept Liberty Belle in the test bed config. Can you just imagine seeing a B-17 fly with five engines? It would curtainly be unique. :D
