Steve,

Thank you so much for posting the link to the pictures you took on December 19, 2014. It was a memorable and historic day witnessing the reunion of Sherman Best and Flak Bait. I was honored to be part of this event.

Hi Tom, I'm not Steve, just an enthusiast for Martin B-26 aircraft. I was not at the reunion. It must have been a great day for you that day to witness the reunion. I'm very gratified the museum and Mr. Best's family could make this happen. Do you have pics you can share of Sherman Best's reunion with his B-26 "Flak Bait"?

Sorry, I don't have any pictures other than the link from the Washington Area Marauder Men site. However, there were several photographers at the event and I've been promised pictures when they are available.

One of the first model kits I remember building was the Monogram Snap-Tite Marauder, on my lap on a roadtrip, so I've always had a soft spot for it. It's great to see so many are around and it would be wonderful to see one fly.

Till then I hope Flak Bait's finished and on display in one piece when I eventually visit the States.
