Hey Jim,
Thanks for posting.
You used to fly over Natick when you flew out of Norwood. Are you using a different pattern this year? Or are you gone today?

Don't know where that is at...there was a TFR around the Patriots game so we went east, to the coast and back, then into Norwood, kept it simple for the controllers.

Ahh, Weymouth!
You can still make out the circular landing area for the Blimps on the right and the outline of the blimp dock at the center.
The side administration offices of the old blimp dock are still there, they just tore the center part down. The rolling tracks for the doors are still visible.

If I remember correctly, that's the world's last flying B-24J Liberator.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I heard that somewhere.

Mudge the rumor-monger

ps. A ride in the LAST FLYING B-24J Liberator doesn't exactly put little fishes in my blood. BUT...a ride in the world's only flying TP-51C...that's a different
story.

Cool! I wore one of ya'll's P-51 t-shirts and caps all day down at Stinson. Still remember the fun it was when the aircraft visited.
