B-17 ~ Nine-O-Nine
B-17 ~ Aluminium Overcast
B-17 ~ Yankee Lady The last two were cross country
B-17 ~ Fuddy Duddy
B-24 ~ All American And as Witchcraft
B-25 ~ Miss Mitchell

<sigh> I've got the shortest list....

1 ride - AT-6 1999 Kissimmee Warbird Adventures.

When I was a teenager, I had hoped to get a ride in a Ju-52 when it was parked at COI Merritt Island Airport. I used to help the guy with odd stuff, speaker wiring, clean it up, etc... I never did get a ride in it.

[Taylor Stevenson]

B-24 (5hrs)
B-17 (1 hr)
A-26 (1hr)
C-45 (7hrs)
C-47 (2hrs)
T-6 (400+hrs)
TBM (1hr)
P-51 (1hr)
TS-11 (2hrs)

Yes, but I never met him. It was his mechanic or helper or someone I used to talk to. Btw, was that a Spanish model or a german made '52?

GIJOE - you stand corrected, my list is as follows:


. . . . . . .

Oh that's right, I've never ridden in one.

Soon though hopefully. My fingers are crossed.

Trae, good luck with the P-47 ride, I want you to take lots of pictures when that happens! Cause I won't believe you otherwise!

You and I need to correct this situation.

I couldn't agree more! I see you soloed not too long ago. I soloed back in May '06. Yay! Congratulations!

Hey Thanks! Congrats yourself, have you started you X-country? What Warbird are you hoping/wanting to fly in first?

B-17G Yankee Lady: 4 Flights. Two flex + back and forth to Janesville, WI.

With some luck I'll be doing more Air show work this summer.

And of course, I'm not above begging like a poorly trained puppy dog for some seat time at Thunder this year. Attendees are advised to bring a rolled up newspaper to whack me in the nose with.

Yes CASA model manufactured in Spain

Dave,
I think you might be wrong. The JU-52 that was owned by Martin was a German built example and is now with Lufthansa as D-AQUI.
Anybody else confirm that please.
