Wonderful airshow pictures. Looks like a great variety of types. The Avenger "Heritage" flight is fantastic!

Thanks for the Pink Lady update.

The russian planes at the show were Yak3 and Yak9 with Allison engines, Yak 11, and a wonderful I-16, coming from Germany

One thing that he said that I had never realized before was that they have never tried to restore her back to original B-17G configuration after they got her from the IGN. The IGN installed storage cabinets in the waist compartment, a cargo floor in the bomb bay along with cargo tie down points on the sides and removed the inboard bomb rack structure. This surprised me because I thought that it would weaken the structure too much. When I asked about it Jean just shrugged his shoulders and said that it has flown that way for decades and has never had a problem.

There used to be a Kitchen/Galley in the rear also...just aft of the waist window on the port side

Anyone have any thoughts on how to get Romain's book, Pin Up Wings 2? Amazon doesn't list it.

I´d like to post a link to a short YouTube clip, showing a quite rough landing of the French FW 190 at La Ferte. :shock:

At least the landinggear seems to be sturdy.

I wonder if he logged all 5 of those landings? :wink:
