Jeff Harris sent me these images taken a week ago with the 51s onboard video system. I hope you enjoy these screen shots.

I say these birds can take it!

So lets see: 2 P-38's and a B-17 hopefully going over to the UK?

Would be cool to see a third P-38 tag along. Then it would be exactly half of the original Lost Squadron. 8)

Flying Heritage Collection or somebody else?

Wow! another Cat back in the states! Maybe somebody will organize a three to four ship formation of my favorite twin engine Cat.

What a photo opportunity! 8)

I believe the new owner is John Sessions, who also owns the ex-Bill Anders Bearcat 'Wampus Cat' amongst other aircraft.

I forget to say that I downloaded these shots from Jeff and posted them from home for the first time since our fire. My new powerhouse of a system is a hp 233mhz dinosaur and a $5 monitor, $2 keyboard, $1 mouse and $.50 powercords from goodwill. I'm very happy to be on at home again :D
