7 B-17's and Counting!!!!

[Wittpilot]

Liberty Belle is now officially on the list.... bringing the total to 7! I think they are pulling for 9 this year... I am booking my hotel room this weekend, will be the first air show I am planning on going on both days...

Fuddy Duddy & Thunderbird are the two other main flyers that I would hopefully expect to see on the list... that would fill 'er up to 9....

Allen....got a good laugh out of that. ..the pilot there looks like same one that flew the Fuddy Duddy, when I took a ride a few years ago. Don't remember his name.
Nine B-17's in formation, a few P-51's and P-47's...maybe have some of our friends across the pond send over some of their nice lookin FW's and ME's.....

Curt,
There will be an Me-262 & an Me-109... along with a B-24 and those B-17's all in one big reenactment in the sky!!

Also, that photo is of Fuddy Duddy, so it is most likely the same fellow...

Went through my pictures, could've sworn I took that same shot:isadizzy: to see if that was the Fuddy Duddy. Co-pilot's not the same tho...
Hope work picks up, this will definitely be a road trip...then again, I'll have plenty of time..

I' glad! I thought no one would get it.

I Google the pic and added Count Von Count to the first one that I found of a cockpit.

Nine B-17's at the same place at the same time? I'm thinking the ground will shake so much that it will feel like a small earthquake. A radial engine powered earthquake!

That sounds like paradise ... I'd love to be there.

Thanks for the info Witt.
