Heavies @ KEVB?

I took a student to New Smyrna Beach, FL airport, and on the northeast corner of the airport, I noticed a DC-3 and a B-17, but when I took off, I found there was 2 B-17s, DC-3, and a B-24. Anyone know how long they will be there for? I need to get there and see them.

That would be American Aero Services' facility. The B-17 with the yellow tail is Chuckie, and she'll be there for a couple of months having some restoration work done. The other '17 and the '24 are the Collings bombers. I dunno about the DC-3.

Looks like some pretty fancy tug work getting all of those heavies into what looks like a tight spot.

Gary at American Aero Services asked me to post this for him. Cool shot!

Looks like Mainliner Detroit in front of Chuckie.

Wow... too many beautiful airplanes it too little square feet. Come on... spread around the wealth!

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I wish I could stumble upon such a site. Then again I may find myself flying into CYYJ (Victoria) and find a P-40, Mosquito, and PBY... I doubt they'd park them as close as that though...

Peace,

I just found out that Chuckie will be at the TICO Warbird Airshow this year. This show is held in Titusville Florida in March. I will be there.

You can't hide from the all seeing eye of wIx and her many eyes... Great shot not something you see everyday...

Yah gotta hope that 909 doesn't have the right strut and tire go flat.

[whistlingdeath77]

Nine-O-Nine and Witchcraft will only be there until this Friday February 25th when they head out on the nationwide tour.

NINE Oh NINE and WITCHCRAFT! I want you to TIGHTEN UP that formation! When MY waist gunner looks out, I want him to see YOUR wingtip close enough he can change the lightbulb! We may only be TAXIING, but a TIGHT FORMATION is ESSENTIAL to the success of this mission...

SAVAGE.

Now that's not something you see everyday... airshows aside!

Thanks for posting.
