Too Cool! I was just outside working in the yard, and as per practice, I had my camera outside with me always at the ready. I was raking leaves when I heard the unmistakable sound of round engines coming in quick...I dropped my rake, grabbed the camera and was able to squeeze off a quick few shots! I know you guys were taking part in the D-Day Invasion at Conneaut today, and I saw the C-47 just an hour or so earlier. Were you flying, and did you do that on purpose...cause it rocked!!!
Here's one of the shots I caught today:

I only had about five seconds of view as it passed between trees in my yard, but not too bad!
For those who don't know, our very own Mike Mantoudis ("Michi") is heavily involved with the Liberty Aviation Museum, and especially this B-25. He will soon be one of the handful of B-25 pilots in the world when he gets signed off. He was to have his check-ride last week, but circumstances made it not happen. Perhaps it got done this weekend and this was his flight?! I can't wait until he chimes in on the subject!
Man, I wish I could have said it was me... It was my day to fly it too. But I had to work. Damn work always gets in the way... Nice shot. How do you catch that stuff with all those trees in your yard?!
I do hope to get signed off soon, otherwise the winter season will hit and I'm sure flying will get really slow again.
We will do it again when I am flying
By the way, if you join the Liberty Aviation Museum, as in, become a member, maybe you can get a ride one of these days. Not promising, but it's only $20 a year. Plus we can always use ground staff to help out, if you are interested... I bet you would look good in a tan jumpsuit
