MAAM's P-61 Widow Web updates

Fri Mar 24, 2006 3:08 pm

I know this was covered in anther thread as a side note. But it really needs to high lighted on its own.

The Widow web has had a bunch of pictures added and if you have not seen them you really should check them out. This is a great example of the recovery and restoration pictures I love to see posted.

I can’t wait to see this take to the air! What a sight that will be.

It's too bad that only five examples of these rare aircraft survived from the over 700 produced.

If there are five, not four surviving P-61's, I would really like to know that so I can correct the Widow's Web pages. Ours, Beijing, NASM, USAFM and ???

Thanks

Patience, Bill; patience.

Give it a little more time to surface through the various channels, but word is that AT LEAST one more airframe has been recovered (perhaps more).

Don't ya' just love the cloak & dagger stuff? :wink:

Hmmmmm. I guess I better ask the boss, MAAM President Russ Strine, if he has heard any rumors. Very intriguing indeed!

I thought I'd read somewhere around a year ago about someone spotting some p-61 wreckage being transported through Great Britain. Maybe it was last April first. I wouldn't trust my memory a whole lot that far back.
