I don't know the full story but not one of the guys that restored Fuddy Duddy was aware that she was being sold , they were cold cocked , but they do have the "movie" Memphis Belle based there gotta call it the Movie Belle as the AFM wil not let them call her the Memphis Belle . If you have the formation with the 6 B17s , 2B24's and the lanc I 'd kill to see that again I believe there was also a formation of 25+ T6s or Harvards depending on which side of the border your onThanks. To be honest I didn't realize there was still a show at Geneseo. I was so bummed out when they moved and then sold "Fuddy Duddy" that I kind of lost interest. I will do my best to try and check it out this July! There is nothing like being on grass and getting that close to the aircraft!
Just went and looked at the pics from 2007 - 2009. Made my old heart race again. Will definitely be back this summer!
Great shots Skipper.
Fuddy Duddy was flown this year at the Chino air show.
I think she's been painted in different colors though?

you won't get that sentiment from the guys at Genny. I wish it had been handled better but it looks like she is in a better place than where she was. The engine cowling you mention was indeed green. !
I can't tell you how happy it made me to check out the link you posted! I feel so much better to see that Fuddy Duddy is receiving such TLC. I wish it had been handled better but it looks like she is in a better place than where she was. The engine cowling you mention was indeed green. I'm afraid my old brain has forgotten exactly why but I believe it was meant as a memorial type thing for missing aircrew. I may be wrong but that is my recollection anyway. Thanks again - made my day to see the old Fud looking so good!
