A few of my personal highlights from the show.

Good company and a pretty good day even if the sun was pretty shy.

your pics are so crisp and clean, fantastic job. I always wondered why that B-17 had only 1 engine cowling painted like that

Of course, Elly was completely devastated by Ted’s death, and it’s hard to imagine how anyone could carry on in the wake of such a tragic loss. But somehow, Elly and her team bravely pulled themselves together to hold the show and to dedicate themselves to the continued flying of Sally B, as Ted would have wished. For Elly, the Great Warbirds Air Display would be a spectacular and fitting tribute to Ted White. His dream of a massed Harvard formation would still take place, but with his lead position unfilled. For all time, Sally B’s starboard inner cowling will carry the same black and yellow chequered markings as Ted’s Harvard.

I like that personal touch on the aircraft. Though I must admit I'm not in favor at all on the Memphis Belle markings, especially on a G. The Tallichet example is different in my opinion since its been essentially back dated to an F and really looks the part. I don't have a problem with Sally B being in the MB markings, but I wished they only kept this scheme for a few years and then tried something new. Or something old... http://www.airliners.net/photo/Boeing-B-17G-Flying/1261376/L/

Thank you Chris for the info. I don't know what this guy's problem is but I asked him to back off and he keeps at it. I guess he's got time on his hands to stalk me instead of preserving history. Is Thur. clean up day for the musuem or Tomm?
