No, I live in San Antonio... I know it gets hot! For humid though - you'd have to go to Galveston to know what humid really is.

No doubt on that, I thought I knew what humidity was growing up, hard to go home after living in Tucson, AZ and Abilene, Texas for 9 years - so the AF sent me to Gulf Breeze Fl where I get a daily lesson on humidity - however none can begin to touch the level of Hum-Hot to be had in the glorious Persian Gulf

The funny thing is that having grown up here it really doesn't seem that hot most of the time. :shock:

Very cool to see a row of 105s like that! 8)

I think the B-24 got repainted this summer. I think that is the one that JimH was telling me about.

It's still odd seeing the P-51H as Petie.

It would be cool to paint up some nose art on the B-29.

I found this close up of the A-26 nose art. Not too authentic, but very nicely done.

Completely wrong for a Korean B-26. Why go to all of that trouble to put that nice nose art on it when there are so many correct examples available that they could have duplicated ?

That particular B-26 was flown back from South America, traded to the NMUSAF for something else and promptly parked ! It is bone stock, not many left that haven't been monkeyed with.

Does the same go for private owned warbirds that have custom nose art on them? I think they did a great job on it.
