B24... well known here (close to my home) A crew crashed at night after a bomb mission over Germany in 44.. A Name of all these poor guy are engraved on a rock , I have a look at them very often..

@serge LOTH - Not a B24...notice the tail. Same manufacturer though, so you can see the similarities.

that vertical stabilizer tho...

This is what would happen if a B-24 "gets lucky" on a date with a B-29.

Tanker 121 looks so naked now, but I'm so glad that she's still flying...

When did they add the yellow stripe on the tail?

Crud... I've been spending days down there supporting the Test team "borrowing" the airport and never did get the chance to see (or HEAR!) it moving... oh well....

I love the sound of radials in the morning - or any time.

Fantastic Shot
