Location: I was a young troubadour when I rode in on a song, and I'll be an old troubadour when I'm gone.
A friend asked me this question yesterday, and I had no idea.
So I figured I would ask the experts here.

These came to mind first:

Sweet and Lovely
Little Rebel
Moonbeam McSwine
Petie 2nd
Petie 2nd
Excalibur
Sweetie Face
Cripes A' Mightly
Princess Elizabeth
Heller Bust
Slender Tender & Tall


How many 352nd Mustangs are flying today?
Fill in the aircraft I missed and, by all means, pictures are both welcomed and encouraged! Image

Green Goggles, I know you have some kind of connection to "Little Rebel" and "Sweet and Lovely". What is your connection to them? Do you work or volunteer on those airplanes, or what? Just curious.

BTW, I loved your thread on the Pattillo brothers, it was most awesome!

I was just a foot soldier at GML...but I loved every minute of it! :supz: :supz:

I'd have to say that I would've attempted to line them all up if I had any say in it, but it was a huge logistical event. The little things can be hard to make happen.

If the show we are working on for next year is successful, within 2-3 years, we'll have a blue-nose gathering. You can put money on it!

Did someone say Bluenosers?! :shock:
I'm still looking for a 352nd Fighter Group patch/logo....it must have been really bad and they burned them all or something. I have not been able to find one yet!

Do NOT adjust your set.......just cross your eyes slightly! That is such a cool pic!!! Even the props are in sync!
