Personnaly, I'd like to see P-47s or P-40s. A friend of mine who is invloved with organizing an airshow here in the Midwest asked my thoughts on this recently, and I told him that a P-40 gathering might be 'doable,' but I don't think they are interested in doing it. Too bad. The Yankee Air Force show at Willow Run Airport near Detroit managed to get six Mitchells together for their show in August (seven if you count theirs, which was also present, but under rebuild). Next year, they are hoping to attract most, if not all of the flyable B-17s in the U.S. for their show. A HUGE undertaking there, hopefully they can pull it off. Jim
