| You should be able to get inside one of the B-17s. It is a bargin at $5.00. Over the years I have been inside just every type flying stateside except the A-20. If the Bell does not have tours one of the others will. The CAF's B-24 was open last year when it was in Houston. I think the Thunderbird will be there again this year and they have tours. I hope you get to go. DBII |

| Is it an F model or a G made up like an F? Either way it is a good looking plane. There are normaly several reinactors in 8th AF uniforms hanging around it in the mornings. It makes for nice pictures. Have you made it inside of FiFi? I was surprised how large it is. DBII |

| I'm drooling. Is that up in Canada? Sorry, I have been all over Europe but never been up your way. I hear it is wonderful. |

| I wish the Wings over Houston would get creative and bring in several P40s, P51s, anything. The show is stale and they rarely bring in anything new. I am trying to go a trip every other year. dbII |
