From what I remember they were all supposed to arrive today and be towed into the IX.  Not sure which ones showed up - I've been on vaca since last Tuesday.

From what I could see the B-17, B-25, P-51, SNJ and Wigdeon are at the show.  None of the other aircraft showed up.

Does anyone know which B-25 was at the show?  From what I'm reading it was supposed to be "Martha Jean", but from what I'm seeing, it definitely wasn't! (Unless it was very recently repainted?)  Hello, Michi????

It was supposed to be "Martha Jean" but instead it was "Axis Nightmare" from the Tri-State Warbird Museum in Batavia.

Thanks.  It took me a while, but I figured it out last night...glad you could confirm it though!  Here's the pic I was trying to identify, and as you can see no numbers anywhere, I went solely on paint alone.

Last time I saw this plane was at the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends in '07.  I saw the B-17 and the Mustang leave too, but I couldn't get a shot of either.

Seems to be a "thing" for the warbird guys to put the tail number as far under the tail of the aircraft as possible.
