There have been reports of a large Bee flying in the Nampa, ID area.

OK, Nobody could guess what I was referring to. The Warhawk Museum P-51C "The Boise Bee" took to the skies Sept. 29 in the capable hands of John Maloney. A few problems to work out but it is back in the air.

It's not that we didn't know what you were referring to Don. Rather, you're just a tad late with the news!

I don't know how I missed that thread. I was wondering why there was no news on it.

from the Warhawk Air Museum's website:

July 23rd and 24th 10AM to 4PM
Don’t miss this opportunity to watch the Mustangs fly!

WWII "Triple Ace" Col. Bud Anderson, leading Ace of the 363rd Fighter Squadron with 16 ¼ victories, will be the guest speaker on Sat. and Sun. He will talk about Lt.
