Me too PBL! I live near a Comemoratiive Air Force unit (Falcon Field in Mesa). Our B-17 is Sentamental Journey (built 1944), and we have a B-25 named "Barbara." Both planes have been painstakingly restored to flight status. I have some pics here:





My favorite airplane in World War One:

Fokker Dr. 1 Dreideker:



I like current military aircraft as well (I was in an F-18 squadron afterall, and have been around naval aviation most of my career).
