ok..i was telling my dad i made the other post to help me locate this plane....he then informed me he never said it was a P-51..so...he now tells me that all she said was.."it was a military plane that had "Betty Grable " on the nose...and im not sure now if it was even on the nose..he says he never told me that either....so does anyone know of an airplane on the airshow circuit with betty grable on it somewhere?
 
B-17 Sentimental Journey is probably the most well known

Saw her in Trenton, ME (Bar Harbor airport) this past July. Thanks to the courtesy of a company that gives plane rides about Bar Harbor, I was almost able to stand on the runway as she did a couple of fly-by's and landing. Not a whole big crowd (was a Tuesday) so there was no rush to get through her.

It was nothing short of great.

It was the B-17 Sentimental Journey, Dave. I get no joy from an internet search, either, so I'm not much help.
