I thought the same thing in '05, but was a bit disappointed in how quiet they really were. The single B-25 that was mowing the grass seemed louder than the 8 B-17s in orbit.

Django the hard of hearing. :lol:

It is un-officially Official!

TEXAS RAIDERS looks like it will be at Thunder Over Michigan along with every other B17 they can cajole into making it up there.

I just talked to CAF-Gulf Coast Wing Bomber Ops. and he says everything is stacking up to packing our bags for Ypsilanti.

I guess that I can say the same for Chuckie, it's un-offically official, Chuckie will be at Thunder also, pending completion of the spar AD and annual. We've got a lot on our plates right now between the B-17, B-25 and now the B-26K, but we're working hard to get there!!!

No applause please, just throw money!!!! :lol: :D

Don, when are y'all leaving? Maybe we could hook up with Thunderbird somewhere and make it a three-ship arrival. Texas Fortresses sticking together, you might say. :wink:
