I hope you don't mind the fun we had at your expense. It was nice seeing you and Mrs. Mudge again.

Great shots, looking forward to seeing more, keep posting! I wanted to be at this show very much, but the economy is making trips like TOM not possible for now.

I feel your pain.., I am in Finance in NYC.., and I had to miss this one as well.., my son was VERY unhappy with me.

It was nice meeting you mudge. Sorry for the lack of socializing. It was an overwelming day!

What "lack of socializing"? If you'd been sitting any closer, the troops would have wondered whether you were with Mrs. Mudge (aka *The Gecko) or Lisa.

(That doesn't sound right, does it?)

Nice!

Would be great to see Texas Raiders and Yankee Lady in formation together sometime, with them both having 381BG markings.

All the best,

It sure was a great sight to see. The mass pass did not have much in the way to offer photographers but was awesome to watch. Two waves of four B-17 coming straight at you. On the final day we had re-enactors in front of us waving at the bombers. It was nice to see Thunder give the bombers plenty of time to make many passes. Another well organized show that brought several new acts to the venue.





You can’t beat a sight like this

[hang the expense]

When I was there on Sunday, only six were lined up. Texas Raiders was in a hangar across the field getting a little TLC, and Yankee Lady was busy hopping rides (bringing in much-needed cash!) This was the best lineup shot I was able to get.

Did anyone get pictures of the BOMBSHELLS? Wow, they were put together well and I do mean well.

[Jeff Hunt]

Here you go chaps, all eight lined up neatly.



Cheers,

Looked like an awesome show. Sad I couldn't make it this year but thats how the cookie crumbles. I did see 2 WACO's, 2 L-19's, Stearman while in Martha's Vineyard though. I was going to go on a ride in one of the WACO's but ran out of time. Next year.

Was there any photo opportunities to capture Yankee Lady and Texas Raiders together? Im very excited to see these 2 birds do a photo flight or something.
