I took a ride on Liberty Belle this morning. Great WX, great crew, great airplane, great time! 
The A-26 was parked on the ramp. It was amazing to see the complete remotely controlled turrets, periscopes, etc. First time I've seen that stuff in person. Neato!
I stopped by the hangar where Ol' 927 resides. There were some folks working on her, but there were no WIXers around (I asked). I was hoping to meet some of the gang and get the "nickel tour". Maybe some other time.
Cheers!

She flew over my house this morning about 0925 heading WSW. She sounded great!

This was Tuesday,
A-26C, 44-35710, Hard to Get
Is it theirs? I saw it today at the other hanger, by where the new museum would be built. And an AH-1 was there too, what was left of one anyway.

Yes it is, I think they got it in either 07 or 08.

We got it in Oct. 2007 but had an engine failure on the way home. A new engine was installed this winter. When the weather was better, it was flown home by Museum pilots Rick Sharpe and Mike Burke. Glad to get her home.
