You know ..I actually don’t know the true owner.

The big war birds seem to belong to a “group” of sorts. I can’t remember a single guy owning a b-24 etc.

I know a few guys who own P-51, p-40 type planes but no 4 engine single owners.

My brother snd actually got to pickle 4 “bombs” each. Aboot 250 pound cement dummies.

Guessing you were at KSCK at Taigh's place for bomber camp the other week... They used Ye Olde Pub from the Erickson collection in Madras Oregon this year for bombing duties.

They used to use 909 from the Collings foundation for bomber camp, but it crashed and burned a couple of years ago due to a mess of cobbled together fixes and maintenance issues (you'll stop and shake your head several times reading through the NTSB incident report and investigation.)
 
With people these days ......the difference is negligable.

Most unfortunate. The level (or lack) of "attention to detail" is really frustrating. Or, more correctly, the high amount of apathy towards attention to detail... especially when not paying said attention advances the political agenda of certain groups.

I recall studying Capital Punishment and the Death penalty, at one point, just to answer my own questions about it. I saw a lot of Internet articles and YouTube videos. Most of the articles and videos talked of a number of different aspects (Federal vs State, etc., different methods) and all the variations of that in the different states. But in almost all of those articles/videos, what picture of an execution chamber did you most likely see? That's right... the Texas execution chamber at Huntsville. I think they (left wing anti death penalty people) want that image burned in everyone's mind when they think of the Death penalty. I mean, they could have never even mentioned Texas, but that's the chamber they show. At least, have the decency to show the correct chamber for the context (i.e. state prison, etc.) you are discussing.

It infuriates me that the media think they can get away with stuff like that because they believe "no one will notice/care," or they want to "burn in" an image like the above to facilitate an agenda.
