Cecil,

I hope I got the title right.... this is in my back yard last weekend and I am about 20 min from the Hamilton Aviation museum. They also have a Lancaster that still makes flight passes and usually goes over my place.

Can't be a B-25.....yours has 4 engines....B-25 had 2
Still VERY COOL !!!! Thanks for sharing !!!

I have a cow pasture on the south edge of Alliance Airport, north of Ft.Worth.
I have a great seat for airshows, but my favorite seems to be when I catch an Old Warhorse doing touch and goes or practice landings......
This was my seat last week when checking on cows.......I sat there for an hour.....finally had to make myself get back to work !!!
B-29 FIFI

There is a very nice SAC museum west of Omaha. Exit 426, about 1/2 mile off Interstate 80. SR-71 greets as you enter the museum. Very much worth seeing the exhibits.

I would like to get up to Omaha to see that museum......my dad was a mechanic on B-36's in the early 50's.
Think he said about the B-36....
4 burnin'
4 turnin'
1 leaking
1 feathered
....just another day for the B-36
