Excellent photos Bill. Thanks for sharing.
I attended Saturday and had a great time as always. Very happy to see such large crowds entering the show too, I hope the Museum had a good year.
Highlights for me were seeing several planes I had not seen before, TBM Ida Red, C-47 Wild Kat, T-50 Bamboo Betty, the P-61 in paint, and spotting R4D Ready For Duty in the pattern on my way out.

Well done as always Bill for the photos. Is there an updated timeline when the P-61 might fly?

Thanks for the photos! I'm glad the event went well. I had a great time in 2023 and am hoping to return next year. It was well worth the road trip.

The pictures I took of the P-61 last year look identical to the ones posted here. And not much different than the ones I took 5 years ago. I'm not sure what's going on...
Who's C-47 is that ? I like the rubber chicken...

The difference I noticed in the P-61 from last year is it's now painted. I have no idea of any other changes.
The C-47, "Wild Cat" is registered to the WWII AIRBORNE DEMONSTRATION TEAM FOUNDATION.
Last year's photo of P-61 with parts still in bare metal.

A few more photos from Saturday this year.

Thanks for posting your pictures Bill.
Always hugely appreciated.
I remember buying my first Black Widow T-shirt when she was still on Mount Cyclops. It's come such a long way. Such a monumental project that has no doubt, cost millions. Great to see her in paint. The final results will be totally worth the wait and the effort. Huge respect to this team.

If you donate $1M today the timeline might get sped up a bit...$5M would make it happen quicker. $ makes the props go 'round!
