Y'all need to come to my place in October. The CAF practices from a small airport near bye. Great view of a good variety of war birds for hours at a time. One of a handful of places where you can still sit at the end of the runway and watch them come in.

Since Mr. Schoffner died, Glacier Girl has been sold twice. It is now owned by a man from Texas.

This one was at the Muskegon Air Fair last year. Unfortunately I don't know the name. I didn't get into a very good position for this picture.

And it flew

(edit: full size pics of those two, plus some other planes that flew that day, are at http://webpages.charter.net/leighma/)

Latest news is that the flight is cancelled because of a mechanical problem.
(The escort is meant to carry on)
