| Unxpected B17 flyby today. A nice day here in Orange County ...... and Sam Lyons B17G "Fuddy Duddy" and his B25 were flying around over my house! Nothing like hearing the roar of an old warbird when you least suspect it!

| Hi Syscom, >Nothing like hearing the roar of an old warbird when you least suspect it! Not really a roaring Warbird, but an ususpected yet welcome sight anyway:   (This Miles Messenger had been reported as destroyed in a crash landing a couple of years back ... glad this was "greatly exaggerated"!) Regards, Henning (HoHun) (Hm, don't know how it looks for everyone else, but I see my pictures twice in this post ...) |

| We have a B-25 that flies over about twice a month. He's too high to get any numbers, with the naked eye, and by the time I find binoculars, he's gone. I've wondered who's and where he's from... Charles

| Don't see many Warbirds over the winter, but in the summer we're lucky enough to see a decent number flying over the Jersey Shore. Last summer got to see (and hear) these seven. C-47 (with invasion stripes!) TBF AT-6 (almost every weekend) B-25 F4U (rare sighting around here) Stearman Harpoon But I haven't seen the heavies (B-17, 24, 29) in a while.  TO
