So when are we taking up the B-25s to honor your Grandpa Changeup?  Seems like that would be a worthy reason to take the strafers out in a crowd.  You in Grandpas bird naturally and lots of other strafers to fly wing. :aok

That'd be great!  I'll be back in town Thursday night (funeral is in St Louis...he loved the Cardinals so maybe they'll win the whole damn thing) and we can make some vicious 25 runs this weekend.

Sorry to hear that Changeup.  Both of my grandfathers were in the RCAF, with one being in the RAF with the Canadians right from before the BoB onwards.  The other grandfather flew in Lancasters.  I wish they both would have lived long enough to see this game, as one of them introduced me to flight simulators WAY back on the C64 and early PC's.  I know they would have both been truly impressed as well.

I had no idea about the story of the B25, that skin, and your grandfather Changeup, it's incredible what you can miss on this bbs.  I'll always think of this story now whenever I see or fly B25's, so your ancestors will never be forgotten in that way.
