This was a tank used in the movie, "Band of Brothers." This was there the very first year I attended WW2 Weekend.

This P-40 was the first I have seen operate in person. The owner/pilot was the nicest gentleman I spoke with. We talked about the aircraft for a good 30 minutes. He enjoyed sharing his 'toy' with me. Said to say not but 8 months later he was at an airshow in NY. He went down in the Hudson. His body and plane never recovered.

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!
