For crying out loud, what the hells wrong with this old iPad of mine———it’s got a bloody mind of its own !
All I did was pick a piccie out of the files ( the right way up ) and the damnuseless piece of modern technology inverts it ?
Or maybe it’s me !
Anyway , question is this———- who remembers “MISS TITTIE”. Twin stacker Molinari with the weird S bottom ———- really Did haul asse——— but the bitch was a tad lively and unpredictable——- Renato dumped it rather heavily in practice, so it never made the start line——- Havasu 1969 If memory serves me right ?
I believe it went back to Oshberg for major surgery, I kinda lost track of it after that ?
C’mon Gene or Willabee——— one of you should remember what happened to the dear girl .

Bomber stations were usually situated in the NorthEast and the flatlands of Norfolk and Suffolk———- whilst the fighters squadrons were based mainly in the south, usually along the coast of Kent , Sussex and Hampshire Theres half a dozen old wartime stations within ten minutes of my house, Tangmere (has a great museum). Ford ( navy hunter station ) Selsey, and many more long forgotten airfields.
My dad was stationed at Linton-on -Ouse just outside York——— he flew 36 ops over Germany and survived———- 406 squadron——- flew “Halifax’s”———- just saying!

Yes. Been there several times. The 390th Bomb Group has a building on the grounds of the Pima Air Museum. When my folks got too old to travel alone we would go to the reunions with them. Every 5th reunion was held in Tuscon at the Museum. Two years ago my brother and I took a short flight in a restored B-17.

The Pima Air Museum is right across the street from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. This base houses the "bone yard" of the Air Force". A lot of the planes are just sitting there waiting to be cannibalized. For exhibits pretty much all the museum has to do is tow one across the street an stick a sign in the ground.

I don’t understand the reasoning behind canceling that program. There’s nothing else that can do what the SR-71 did!
