Yeah but one coop was able to build a full scale replica over there, and another one was able to be used to help complete a rebuild over here!

Here's one pic to get the motor going. Taken a couple weeks ago at the St. Thomas airshow. Didn't land but did a couple of flybyes with a P-51. I believe this P-51 will also be at the show. Not the best pic, but I'll get better at Thunder over Michigan.

why is "Sally B" on part of the wall paper? and looking at that list I doubt the one claiming to be the "Movie Memphis Belle" is actullay the one since "Sally B" played the part even though both of them could of palyed the part at diffrent times. (why is always ME that puts a damper on things?)

Alrighty, finally got some time to put up some pics:

B-24



An actual B-17F painted as the Belle






















A turret from one of the "Lost Squadron" B-17's




One of those planes. I'm not sure what they're called ;)










I'll put more up, including some awsome videos. I was right by 4 of the B-17's when they started up.
