Me too. 14 years with 4 other guys restoring the EAA's B-25 here in
Burlington WI. It was the General's plane in "Catch 22", the Berlin
Express and painted differently on the other side to be used as a
squadron bomber. Originally Barbara Hutton's gift to her boyfriend.
Fun time. Also worked on XP51 (prototype with Maytag Allison), P-51D,
B-17G "Aluminum Overcast", Spanish BF109, Ford Trimotor, AT6, P-64, Waco
10 with OX-5, DeHavilland Rapide, Grumman Duck, and other assorted
planes. Got the bug from my dad who worked at North American in
Inglewood during WW2.
Wish I could be at Westchester aerodrome. Really would like to get to
Rhinebeck too.
