Hopped over to HBG today to see some old planes...

Nice, How many B-24s are still flying? While not as popular or pretty as the B-17, they sure dropped a lot more tonnage of bombs through the war.

High wing vs. low wing; Trike gear vs. conventional. All encapsulated in your great pictures.
Do you think the WWII boys argued about that, or as long as you had sufficient .50 cal's it didn't really matter? :wink2:

2. The one in the pictures and one owned by the CAF. That's it. Sad when you consider how many were built.

More of 'em built, too... About 50% more.
But, only two flying: The one in the pictures, and Ol' 927.

Although he hasn't flown it recently, I've been told Kermit Weeks' B-24 is airworthy.

The one pictured looks like the Collings Foundation aircraft.

The B-17 "909" is definitely owned by the Collings Foundation, and it campaigns with the CF's B-24, so I think you are right!
