Hey Jim, not sure what the experiment is all about but it looks like you've Photoshopped the first two so much that 909 looks just like Yankee Lady ! :lol:

JIm ~ If the "experiment" is to convince Rob Collings to repaint '909' this winter, I hope it works ! :D

Great shots of Yankee Lady on a significant date in warbird history.

Thanks for sharing

909 will probably get fresh paint this winter...believe it when you see it!! I started a photobucket account to post pictures, wanted to see if it worked. Yankee flew with us for the Air Force Memorial Dedication last fall. It was odd having another 17 off our wing but it was a beauty.

Jim,

Does "909" still have the borrowed Cheyene tail turret attached or where you guys able to repair the damaged Stinger turret?

I think it would be great if she got a new identity like the '24. It really upset me at first, but now I think it is a great way to renew intrest in the aircraft. And Lord knows there are hundreds of other crews that deserve to have their story told like the Dragon and it's Tail and now Witchcraft.
