B-23 flying at Erickson's place this weekend...

Wed Mar 30, 2016 4:11 pm

This showed up on Erickson's Facebook page today:
I'm sure you're all waiting to know the rest of the planes flying April 1st-5th, so here they are:

-Focke Wulf 190
-P-47 Thunderbolt
and a guest aircraft a B-23!!

Any guesses as to which B-23 (Pissed Away maybe) will be flying or perhaps their idea of an early April Fools?

Didn't I read where that White (?) one with the Orange stripes in Col. Just got flying again ? Sorry for the "iffy" info., I just remember reading it last month...

I believe the Moses Lake B-23 flew in the last couple months, so it's definitely possible that this is the aircraft participating.

When the video of the Moses Lake B-23 flying last year was posted, one of the pilots flying it at that time is the chief pilot for the Erickson aircraft collection/warbirds, Brent Conner, so it would make sense that it would be that one (the only one currently flying, as far as I know).

Most likely this one (the one Brent Conner flew) http://www.warbirdregistry.org/b23regis ... 90063.html

I was not there, but their Facebook page had no sign of the B-23 this weekend, but lots of shots and video of their P-38, B-17, DC-3, SBD, Ki-43, Corsair and Thunderbolt, in the air over the weekend...

I was there at Madras. Yes, it was supposed to be the Moses Lake B-23/UC-67 N777LW but sadly it had to cancel.
