Warbird Information Exchange

I'm planning on going Saturday

I must say it was an awesome surprise to look out of my window of my US Air flight and see the B-29 on the ramp as the sun was coming up this morning! Needless to say, I did not have any other interesting warbird sightings on my way back to Oregon today...

Enjoy your visit out there-- I have not been to the museum since they have moved location.

I presume the DC-7 is still there. I do hope they get it back in the air again.

Go out and look for Chuck Gardner and The Brat III....

I just got back, had to leave early, got some great shots and had a chance to talk with Chuck for a bit, nice guy
Photos in a bit!

Here are some pics, The museum needs to rethink there set up a bit and crowd control was a bit overkill in my opinion.







And yes the DC7 is still there

I have pictures from inside the museum and more of the B29 B24 and P51 that i will post later after i get them uploaded to Photobucket if anyone want to see them.

Great pics!

What's wrong with the DC-7?

I think they lost an engine a few months ago but not 100% sure

Just saw a picture on Facebook. Looks like Diamond Lil had a nose gear collapse today at Charlotte.

Oh no, glad there were no injuries.

Boy, that place is jinxed. The DC-7 lost an engine last Nov there and now a gear collapse on Diamond Lil. Article includes photo:

I'm a little out of the loop, but when did the B-24 revert back to it's old name and nose art and why? Somehow I missed that whole story...

Ok, thanks for the link and clearing up the whole nose-art-switch thing for me. Don't know how I missed that one...
