Went to the Columbia, MO Salute to Veterans Airshow on Sunday. Good show, as always. Snapped a few pics, thought I'd share.

The BT-13 that you have on your photo's was my late grandfathers aircraft up until his death in 1989. Do you have any other pictures of her?

Thanks!

Who owns the P-38 "Skidoo" and what is the registration number. I didn't see it listed in the warbirds registry.

Yeah, I think I have quite a few somewhere. My dad knows the current owners well. He used to fly with them in his BT-13 back in the early 90's. I probably have pics from Offutt, Forbes, Richards-Gebaur airshows.

Thanks!

I was stationed at Offutt, the times Janet was there, her and Glen are really nice folks!

Anyways, that would be great if you had additional photos of the plane!
