| Went to WW II Weekend at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum Saturday. Didn't have my sidekicks from last year, Charles and Njaco  , at least it was a lot cooler (75F, as compared to last years 96F), but a lot more crowded.First up are the B-17 pics. I'll get more shots up a little later. Enjoy them, but remember, I'm not nearly on the same level as Eric as a picture taker.   TO

| F4U Corsair The older gentleman sitting in the F4U in the striped shirt is a WW II veteran Corsair pilot. It was a thrill for him, his family, the owner of the Corsair and all of us watching. You should have seen the expression on his face when he was invited to sit in that bird! TO

There were a surprising number of vets there which was good, but as we all know, their numbers are dwindling at a rapid rate, and that's sad. TO

| You got some great pics, TO! At first glance, I thought that B-17 was Aluminum Overcast, but looking closer I see it's Yankee Lady  And the story about the Corsair driver...now that's great to see! Thanks for posting the photos!

| Was unable to go due to surgery recovery, saw on their website a Helldiver was excpected to attend and never saw a flying example. Few years ago 3 B-17s showd, a major moment for me as it's my favorite plane. |
