If you notice in the picture the B-17 Fuddy Duddy, C-47 Kilroy, B-25 Show me, and the PV-2 Hot stuff. This was taken at the Louisville airshow (JVY) which was put on by Charles Osbourn in about 1994??. On that Saturday we were a sad line up, Kilroy had fabric torn from the left elevator, Show me had a missing exhaust tube, and Hot Stuff had a flat main tire. so phone calls were made and it happened that a C-47 freight company was just sixty miles away and had a good elevator and main tire tube for the PV-2 which uses the same size as the goon. but nothing for the B-25. ON Sunday we both flew in the show and left for home. Who knows when the B-25 got out of there.
