^ Awesome breakdown Catfish. It seems this was the aircraft I had heard about a few months ago. Although I never flew on it, We were allowed to board and view this aircraft in detail. I took numerous and detailed pictures of the aircraft and it's bomb bays.

They had a P-51 there along with a Russian Yakovlev Yak-3. There was also a B-25 Mitchell. A B-29 Super Fortress was scheduled to be there as well but was suffering mechanical difficulties and didn't make the show. There was also a T-6 Texan trainer there as well. They were offering rides on all these aircraft except the Russian Yak.

Edit: There was also a Japanese A6M " Zero " there too. Considering how few of them there are, I doubt it was an original and I never got close to it to see. I'm sure it was a reproduction but it looked fantastic.
