Glad I have a Terrabyet hard drive to save all these on. :sunny:
"Let"? I'm sure he was highly honored. :rock:

I used to work with one of FiFi's pilots.

nice guy, i never scored a ride though.

Sad to say I did not see them run up the engines. It was looking like rain and did it rain. My daughters and I made it to our car just as it hit. She is a beautiful bomber.


I'm thinking you are correct. :up:

She is very loud and lumbers down the runway. She used just about all of it in the takeoff run. It was great to see one actually fly. I have seen the Enola Gay at the Hazy museum. Not quite the same as she sit silently with the other aircraft. Not sure if flying her again is a good thing. I can say that all walks of life were taking plenty of pictures of her.

Steve,

I went through my pictures and this one my daughter had taken the same day. Much closer and can read more names/squadrons. Can see Pappy's wingman signature!

The Germans fought back...even with their school buses!

The Allies prevailed and we all began wearing silly hats and shirts with total disregard for anything.

Is that Farve in the officer's cap?:o

Yes, and his nose tackle on the left.

Awesome posts!


I believe I'll be seeing the same Lancaster (and possibly some of these other planes too) at the very warbird-oriented airshow here this weekend. Mind if I also post my pictures here instead of making a different thread, since it's kind of similar thime? :D

Please do CCIP. I would love to see the aircraft you will be seeing at the event you are attending! :yeah:

Bump!

Nothing overly fancy, but I'll start off with a few I got this weekend at the Hamilton Airshow that was squarely focused on warbirds this year!

In honour of the anniversary of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, they had a whole 8 flying Harvards (the Canadian designation for AT-6 Texan) flying this year...

Fairey Firefly. Doesn't it look just like an oversized Spitfire?

deHavilland Chipmunk. One of the many Commonwealth Training planes present...

And on the other side of it, probably the star of this particular show, the only flying Lancaster on this side of the world!
