Our (Collings) B-24 is sitting in Brooksville, FL undergoing maintenance right now, so it sure wasn't ours. Kermits' is sitting forlorn on the FoF ramp and not sure where Diamond Lil is right now (anyone else know?)... so, could it have been a Privateer or maybe even the MATS Connie? I know we got a call once on a MATS Connie sighting and they said it sounded and looked similar from below as it flew over at high alt.
