Friday afternoon the Collings foundation landed at St.Pete Clearwater airport.What a great sight seeing those mighty birds fly over and the sweet sound of Pratt and Whitney Raidals.Went and toured them sunday. What an experience took photos and I will post some later.Took my Girls and they loved it. Took a picture of them in front of the nose art of the B-24, Perfect setting,The name of the B-24 is Witchcraft.They Had Witchcraft, Nine o Nine and a P-51 b or c model all shiney! The Bombers were a bit Weathered looking, But thats the way I like to see planes. Lots of WW2 vets were there today and some were getting very emotional, telling stories to any and all that would listen. What a great Experience that was !!!:thumbsup::woohoo::wave::o:)

Looks like the same 51 that was in Avra Valley Az a few months ago. Had to make a bat-turn for a second look, it's a two seater!

That P-51 is sweet, although at first glance at the hash marks it looks like it shot down 10 German planes during the war, and a West German plane afterwards! :D
