Anyone know if Jack Roush's P-51B "Old Crow" is there, or is going to be there? It would be neat to see both it and "Berlin Express" parked side-by-side - except that I'm sure confusion would ensue, with both having the same tail number (both paint schemes representing the same aircraft at two different time periods during the war).
They are parked side-by-side along with the P-51Ds "Old Crow" and "Swamp Fox"- all in a row. Saw Bud Anderson and Bill Overstreet driving through on a golf cart a couple times. Really cool to see.
Mossie made it and gave two superb passes on arrival. The MAM and Kermit Weeks Mossies are parked next to each other in warbird alley. The Canadian Warplane Heritage Lancaster made it in as well with the new temporary scheme on the nose and is parked over in Boeing Plaza.
A rough run-down of what notables I remember from today: P-38, 2 P-40s, about 20 P-51s including Berlin Express and Sierra Sue II, 2 B-17s, 5 B-25s, A-26, B-29, 6 DC-3/C-47s, AC-47, PB4Y, PV-2, 2 TBMs, 5 Corsairs, Dauntless, Zero, SB2C, Yak-9, Sea Fury, Lancaster, Mosquito, FJ-4 Fury, 3 T-33s, Lodestar, Howard 500, A-4 Skyhawk and 3 Skyraiders. Probably missing a few from the list
it Don't know how this compares with other years since I'm a first-timer...
Grand Champion is going to be a tough field between Sierra Sue II, Berlin Express, the Olympic Flight Museum FG-1D and the Mossie.
Hoping for more warbird flying in the airshow tomorrow. Wasn't much to speak of today.
