Nice! Did you take these pics when they made their stop at Hickory N.C. Bones?

Back in May of this year I met in San Jose with a WWII Vet who flew with my Grandfather in the war. In fact they were both on a mission that went down in December of 1944. All the crew made it back to base except for the Co-Pilot who was captured by a Nazi patrol.

"Witchcraft", a B-24J, is one of only 2 airworthy examples in the world. The other one, a B-24D, suffered a nose gear collapse earlier this year but I don't know if it's been repaired yet. These planes can only fly on donated money and maintenance time.

Sgt Boyds' 1928 Model A Ford, one of two he owns. Both of which are in immaculate condition and driven daily!

Bones, did they have the P-51C and the German jet there?

You prolly noticed it was modified to be a 2 seater? I saw a guy take a flight in it when it was in San Jose. Apparently it costs about $3,500 for one hour. :eek:
