Mid Atlantic Air Museum WW2 Weekend Pictures

[Jeff Hunt]

Hey boys just got home an hour ago from a pretty good weekend. Lets get the show started with the longest running restoration I know of off of the top of my head. Plenty of visible progress on the P-61. They painted her. Looks real nice from a back abit but up close there appears to overstressed aluminum work and the paint is poorly applied. Makes one think that perhaps they felt a need to show progress in order to keep the cash flowing. They are doing their best but this is a job for a professional warbird restoration team.

Cheers

I know it wasnt the best, but boy,

She is a looker. Sweet sweet lines.

Its a slight table below my girl FiFi but still worth a fight with the boss about costs about seeing her when just a bit nearer.

I hate it when work on her isnt what such a pretty plane deserves. Slinging on paint.

But i know it costs more then a new universe to even get to this stage.

So keep the pictures comming.

Stirr up interest.
It deserves that.

Thank you.

Here is one that will win you lots of beer in your pub. She is a C-49 Dakota. Why a C-49? Because she has Wright Cyclones instead of the usual P&Ws. She is owned by a drop school out of Oklahoma. First time seeing ths airframe for me.

Here is a reminder of what the P-61 looked like last year at the show.

Always exciting to see a "new" airframe and she was a real beauty!

Last Saturday night was the annual Night Shoot at the MAAM WW2 Weekend. This year's participating aircraft were a TBM, a Kate replica and a C-53 Dakota. Here are a few cellphone videos of the runs!

I miss going to this airshow. This is what that P-61 looked like in 2010.

You lucky bastards still got airshows. Here they just killed all of them.
