Congrats from the Yellow Rose crew! Another bomber up and going. I know it's been a long, hard, rough road, but it's behind you now. Up ahead, clear, blue, smooth sky!
This has been a great year for warbirds, and the CAF expecially, so many aircraft returning to the air.
I can't wait for our next big show's bomber gaggle.

We have been invited to TOM and I am lobbying the staff to go.
It depends on how much gas etc. is covered and whether we can get other stops in between the flight up and back.
A consideration is that with 8-9 other B17s there, we might have a hard time filling revenue rides. While not all B17s do revenue rides enough fly them that it might reduce that source of cash. The rides programs go a LONG way to underwriting the costs of the whole program.
That's the BAD COP talking.
The GOOD COP says heck yes, how could we refuse an opportunity to have that great an impact on folks?
There is also a lot of flying to do to get the kinks worked out after being down so long.
