Twenty minutes after the Catalina and another former warbird just passed from west to east:

Dakota PH-PBA from the Dutch Dakota association, still in KLM livery, doing it's Dutch castle tour and one of those castles is in my home town.

Spent many an hour over the panhandle in a CAP T-41A on SAR missions.

Collings Foundation B-25 did a couple fly overs of downtown Toledo and shortly afterwards their B-17 "Nine-o-Nine" flew over headed northwest, now sitting at Toledo Express Airport.

I barely got a gIimpse, but I believe that FIFI just flew over my house. I live in Fort Collins, CO, about 60 miles north of Denver.

CAF P-63(the future pinball :lol: :P ) stopped in today for fuel. Didn't get a chance to get up close but I did snag a few pics. Any CAF'ers know where she was heading? Went westbound. Made my day!

I did some of my growing up in Safford and my earliest warbird memory is that of one of the Whittington brothers stopping for gas in "Precious Metal". I was only about six years old at the time but I still remember the high speed low pass and very steep climb out. Awesome!

At aprox. 9.30 AM in Zeist in the Netherlands a very nice looking Douglas A4 Skyraider moving towards the Dutch National Army and Air Museum which is just a couple of miles north of here.
It was just to far away from me to see the registration number, but I think it was 125716/F-AZFN - France/Didier Chable since it carried fueltanks as well as rockets.
