Hey Paul,
Pretty sure that's the Collins (sp?) Foundation guys doing their annual
tour. They've got a B-24 and a B-17. I heard on the news the other day
they had to replace 3 cylinders on one of the planes, and were hanging
around longer than expected for maintenance. Last year when they flew
into Moffett Field, my friend plunked down the $350.00 or whatever it
was and got a 30-45 minute ride in the B-17. He said it was worth every
penny! Free airshows are always the best!
