I noticed whild out and about last sunday I saw a B-29, B-17, B-24 and a B-25 mitchell flying over mesquite Tx. They apeared to be headed towards love field in Dallas.
A buddy I work with saw a B-29 (maybe the one I saw) flying over the mesquite/Garland area on teusday then headed westerly towards love field as well.
Is there a air show around DFW in the next week or 2 that I missed hearing about?
When I saw the bombers sunday my GF was with me....she was either REALLY excited about them too or just scared poopless cause I was watching them not the road...oops :O
Anybody know anything about a possible airshow?

when i was driving over the golden gate bridge there was either a b-24 or b-17 flying over, it was a couple years ago before i knew the difference between the two

unless fifi got her engine fixed I don't think it was a b-29. Collings is making a tour through texas at the moment which probably explains the other bombers you saw.

Coolest thing i've ever gotten to see was back in the late 80's when i was stationed at MCAS Beaufort S.C.. Due to weather at the cape the space shuttle transport 747 with the shuttle on it landed at our base. :aok Was parked about 2000yds from the hanger of my squadron. Talk about some tight security! Something i never knew till i had left there was that if the shuttle had to abort 4 to 8 sec after lifting off the pad our base was the emergency landing area as we had the longest runway on the east coast.

Might not have been a B-29 was a pretty long way off when I saw it and my buddy could have been mistaken. We talked about it lastnight and he thought it "could" have been a constilation but I splained him the MANY differences from a conny and a B-29....damn noobs.
