    As well it should.
    I can't see one of these without hearing the theme to "12 O'Clock High".
    My dad flew these before he transitioned to B29s.

    What a great event. Turned out much better than I expected. We've been expecting rain, but it stayed to the North all day so the planes could come. The event is expanding and this year they did a car show for first time. So I drove down instead of flying on rental time. A big general aviation flyin too.

    Although an "open cockpit" day and not air show, most of the planes arrived from other locations and all obliged with a few low speed passes before landing. Nothing more majestic than a B-17 on final to a greaser landing. Nothing more thrilling than a Sea Fury on low pass.
