Jim Fontana, a former Marauder pilot and good friend of mine, got to go up in "Yankee Lady" on Friday along with his two daughters and a grandson. They let Jim and his grandson have a turn at the wheel. Not a B-26 he said, but something he never thought he'd ever do!
Thanks for your service to your country Jim!

Actually, here's what he said:

"I just want to let you know you provided me with the greatest
day of my 30 year retirement. I was thankful for the ride but
to let me fly the plane was something out of this world. Of
course it didn't handle like the Marauder but the feel was super.

My daugthers loved every second of being there and Jamie was
feeling super because he never expected them to let him fly the
plane. Thank you again.
Jim"

Jerry i told the guys on the B-17 that i know you and to give me a free ride.........then they told me to go get them a bucket of propwash. I never did find that bucket.
