Just went on the tour. They had a B-25 Mitchell as well as the B-24J Liberator and B-17G Flying Fortress, an old Bi-plane and a nice little aerobatic plane from the 40's.. Signed up to take a flight in the B-24 tomorrow. An old guy there was giving a bomb sight demo with OBL's picture on the map.

Money well spent gentlemen. Being inside those narrow, thin skinned, cramped quarters will give you a new appreciation for what our Fathers and Grandfathers did for us. It's great to see a piece of history so well preserved.

On a side note. If you ever get a chance to look at the book, VINTAGE AIRCRAFT NOSE ART by Gary M. Valant, take a look. Pics of WW2 airplanes front noses, very cool.

I like the B24 but I'm partial, you see my father flew them for the Army Air Corps. He said the Liberator was one of the more difficult bombers to fly at the time. Later he also flew the B-29 on bombing missions from Japan to North Korea.
