Fuddy Duddy in Buffalo

[BlackWolf3945]

Fuddy Duddy is visiting good 'ole Buffalo this weekend. I'll be heading out to see her on Saturday but took a sneak-peek on Friday to get some photos while there was a light crowd.

Enjoy...

Great photos Wolfie!

I saw that one back in April. Some of the old gear is not in it because it was used post-war as a transport. The lower half of the top turret and the gantry mount for the ball turret are missing. But as a transport, Ike flew in it after the war and MacArthur flew in it in the 1950s. So it is really pretty historic. Enjoy it, I know I did!

Nice pics!

I saw that one fly in '99 or '00, I lost my pictures of it though.

i heard ilooked and i saw that big yellow tail its nice but what was sad is they couldn' t key up a formation with the lanc thats down the road and as a postscript the merlins sound much nicer

 

[Nonskimmer]

...the lanc thats down the road...

Ah, a show-off eh?



The only Lanc "down the road" from me is a static post-war Mk.10MR bolted to concrete slabs.
But it's still kinda cool.

usually once a week on saturdays the B 17 is nice but sounds like a dak \/

 

[Nonskimmer]

Ok, now I know you're a dick.
(kidding )

Actually, I envy the hell outta you if you get to see those things every week or so. How often does the Lanc fly these days, anyway?

 

[pbfoot]

in the winter not so often but in the other 8 months i would say an average of once a week usually at about 2000 ft and about 4 laps around now with the 109 spit and hurri within a 10 minute drive it makes sitting outside sipping a beer a pleasant thing

 

[Nonskimmer]

I'll bet. Man, I'd kill for that.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Lucky! The only aviation we get at my house is a few Helo's, and maybe once a month or so we'll get some F-18's or suchlike fly over. Better than nothing....

 

[Nonskimmer]

The only military birds I see around here on a regular basis are Sea King helicopters, and the occasional Aurora MPA. Whoopy. Once in a blue moon I'll see some CF-18's.

When I lived in Tattershall, when my dad was stationed in RAF Coningsby, all I had near me was the BoB-MF. Is that something special?

And when RAF Finningley was still open we got everything in for the airshows.

 

[JCS]

At least you guys get to see some military aircraft! All that goes over here are boring old Cessnas and Pipers

 

[cheddar cheese]

I get them too. Actually, I get quite a nice range of aircraft so I dont know why Im complaning
