| FNG Greetings All, I had just missed taking my son to see the Collins Foundation's B-17, 24 and 25 at Jack Northrop Field. The next week I was at Palmdale working late. Saw what appeared to be the goofiest looking C-130 crossing the field. Realized it was a B-24, ran back into the building and told my buds what was outside. Couldn't have emptied that place faster if you'd said 'FIRE.' 38super |

 | Watch their website for the summer tour schedule for next year. They hit several places in Southern California every summer. The Collings Foundation - Preserving Living Aviation History for Future Generations

| Thanks evanglider, Will keep an eye on that site. I'd never seen a Lib in flight. From a distance, high wing and four fans the first thought is Herky Bird. Pleasant suprise. Thank you all for the welcome. Nice site!! |
