I enjoyed seeing the the pics...Only been to one air show....Loved it....Went inside a old B52....That was cool....If I recall the gunner was very much out in the open....Thanks to all the air force men..
I lived on Guam as a child '57 - '60, it was a B36 base, replaced by B47 Stratojets, I had not been that upclose to old WWII planes since, so is what quite a treat.
Great pix Gator. My Dad was a toolmaker in WWII and helped make all the jigs for the B-29 and B-25. My Mom worked in the plant that made the Gyros for the torpedoes. Thanks
OK, these are great pics, now for you WWII plane buffs, the ride you want to plan is to Tillamook oregon, they have the Airplane Museum with lots of WWII and other type aircraft. they also have the Spruce Goose. Also, The Tillamook Cheese factory with free samples and the BEST ice cream ever. Beautiful riding area with PNW evergreen forests and pacific Ocean vistas along ol HWY 101.
This place (link below) is literally about 15 mins from my house (only about 6 miles as the crow flys). Years ago when he first opened it was free with a donation. But it has grown and now there is an admission. They have all kinds of on planes military and civilian.
The two best places I've found to view WW11 aircraft is the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson in Dayton Ohio and The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum at Dulles Airport in DC, both are great places to see these great aircraft.
