Hi all... just had to share this picture. Gary Austin snapped this shot out of the B29 on their flight over Niagra Falls just a few weeks ago! Gary is crewing on the B29 this season. We can all thank Gary for letting me post this! One of those once in a lifetime shots!

I don't know if the pictures will ever be published or put online, but there are some really great shots of the B-29 and B-24 taken over Niagara Falls from an RV-4 when they arrived for the Buffalo stop. I saw them when visiting the planes at Buffalo airport.

Is that the same Gary Austin from Memphis? If so, another great shot, like Bill Hobbs Mustang taking off at Breckenridge, Texas.


Thanks,

Lynn

Great Shot!!!
Was just there a couple weeks ago after the Geneseo show.
Walked all those paths seen in photo taken from Fifi.
Thanks a lot.

It sounds like the photographer in the RV4 was suppose to send some of those shots to Gary. So I hope we can see those shots of the 24 and 29 over the falls!! Yes... this is the Gary Austin from Memphis.
