I am involved with a pretty amazing living history group in Colorado Springs called "Fantasy Flight".  The two leaders of this group own a C-45/AT-11 and two AT-6's.  The members of Fantasy Flight maintain these old Warbirds and fly them to airshows throughout Colorado and other parts of the USA.  Each of the 30+ members own at least one authentic WWII Army Air Force uniform that is worn to these airshows.
