That was pretty awesome. The N9M/AT-12/P-26 flight just screams "Ed Maloney". At what other time or place in history would there ever been any reason for those three airplanes to be together? No reason other than the foresight of Mr. Maloney means that they are the last flyable examples of their types. Thanks for sharing!

I hope somebody someday writes a book about Mr Maloney and the origins of the Air Museum and how it came to be. The stuff that passed through that man's hands... That would be a pretty fascinating read.

Very nice tribute! Superb audio capture! He came a long way from beginnings with an open lot display. I'd like to see them get the Raiden running again and taxi it around. Thanks Jason!
