Well, my happy thought of the day was to be that my wife and I flew in a B25. Back in the dark ages when we first started dating we went to Happy Hour at the 98th Aero Squadron at Van Nuys airport. We were out on the patio when a B25 taxied to the runup area, did it's run up, then taxied to the runway and took off. The magical sound and feeling of those radial engines are still with us 37 years later. Well, there is one aircraft missing in the phot below. It had an engine change the other day and was stopped by bad weather in OK.

But all was not lost, my wife took some good pix of WW2 and Viet Nam U.S. Army re-enactors displays that I will post later.
