Great stuff! I believe the three pics of Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby were taken during her post-restoration flight from Dover AFB to NMUSAF in the late 1980s.

That's correct. Shoo Shoo Baby was a natural metal bird during the war.

Ah cool. The Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby! That Fort was restored just 30 minutes from my house. I got a few pictures of her before they flew her away to Dayton to lock her away forever, never to fly again. :(

Or, in this case 'Photo Flop' :lol: :lol: :lol: Now he's back on the 'good guys side'. In the movies or TV the Good Guys always seem to fly from the left side of the picture and the baddies come from the right. West (left) Eastern (right)

Shouldn't be any doubts about what the first three are all about-The first F4U picture has the negative flipped, the big give away is the location of the cowl antenna mast on the left side (then the location of the national markings on the wrong sticky outie thingie with the wiggy waggy dealibop on the end :lol: :lol: ), s/b on the right.Middle River Martin for the B-26's and the XPB2Y Coronado prototype, and lots of P-51H's
