Fuddy Duddy is visiting good 'ole Buffalo this weekend. I'll be heading out to see her on Saturday but took a sneak-peek on Friday to get some photos while there was a light crowd.
Enjoy... 'Fuddy Duddy' at Prior Aviation

Country: | I saw that one back in April. Some of the old gear is not in it because it was used post-war as a transport. The lower half of the top turret and the gantry mount for the ball turret are missing. But as a transport, Ike flew in it after the war and MacArthur flew in it in the 1950s. So it is really pretty historic. Enjoy it, I know I did!

The only Lanc "down the road" from me is a static post-war Mk.10MR bolted to concrete slabs.
But it's still kinda cool. | |

Actually, I envy the hell outta you if you get to see those things every week or so. How often does the Lanc fly these days, anyway? | |

Country: | in the winter not so often but in the other 8 months i would say an average of once a week usually at about 2000 ft and about 4 laps around now with the 109 spit and hurri within a 10 minute drive it makes sitting outside sipping a beer a pleasant thing
