Hello WW2 aviation fanatics!

[LuftWaffles1942]

I'm a Junior in high school and I cant wait to be introduced to more fanatics like my self. My great Grandfather (Fitz Johnson)was a P-51 pilot in WW2. He was mostly a B-17 escort but he made friends / enemies with a bf109 pilot. They were still friends until my Grandfather's death in February 18 ,2018. He has taught me how to fly many of his and his friends aircraft. He gifted me with a 1944 F4U Corsair. Its a lot of fun flying and I hope I can find more people to fly alongside. Ill will post pics of it when my hanger gets remodeled.
