I was there all week, but Zippy takes way better pictures than I do. However, I did take one of the P-47, "Bonnie", restored by the same people who did the blue P-51. And Bud Anderson was there; flew Old Crow in the war. See the attached. It was a great show!

No, panel 12 is a Pietenpol Air Camper. Bernard Pietenpol designed a Ford Model A engined powered homebuilt airplane in the 1930s. This one was built about 15 years ago. The builder and pilot is Dan Helsper.

Thanks for info and link.

But it really look like one from that era, or the very early days of great war.

Jack Roush owns this. He doesn't fly it, himself.
