Oh Geneso.

If only a show like that could happen there again.

8 to 9 B-17's
2 B-24's
1 Lancaster
Maybe even a Privateer by then?

That would even surpass the previous shows with 5 B-17s, 1 B-24, and 1 Lancaster! But the chances of that happening are low. But boy, would that be the greatest show on turf!

Wow... if only I'd known about warbirds back then! :cry: That looks like it would've been an incredible show to be at, the B-17's are stunning! You guys are so lucky! Now if they did that again that's a show you couldn't keep me away from. :D

fear not! they'll get back together again. There are more than this in the air these days, right? Perhaps we'll see ALL of them lined up on a runway, and darkenig the sky again! I know I would be overjoyed at that!

On another forum I remember Mike Luther saying they are going to try to do the B-17 gathering again in a few years since it was so popular.
