That will be sad news if it ends up being true. This article mentions that the Collings Foundation made the announcement in their newsletter. Collings Foundation Grounds Air Tour for WWII Aircraft https://www.flyingmag.com/collings-foundation-grounds-wwii-aircraft/ I have been all over the Collings Foundation's website and I have been unable to find a way to sign up for their newsletter. There is also no announcement regarding the grounding of the aircraft in any of their News releases , However their Wings of Freedom link takes you to a Error 404: Page not found message. https://www.collingsfoundation.org/events/category/wings-of-freedom-tour/ Wheels

About 10 chapters in and I am hooked. Wheels

Been avoiding driving to Tustin since I do not really want to see the charred ruins of that iconic hangar. Chino also lost one of their four historic WW-2 Cal-Aero Flight Academy hangars to a fire in September of 2022 or just a little over a year ago and the charred remains of that hangar have not been cleaned up yet. The hangar housed the Planes of Fame jet aircraft for years so its loss was a double whammy to history. It was also the hanger where the N9MB Flying Wing restoration to flight efforts took place. https://inlandnews.tv/2022/09/10/chino-airport-hangar-burns/ https://maps.app.goo.gl/1n74CXodJSAjwdrG6 The blue and white debris in the picture are THOUSANDS of disposable face masks.

I met Harald Bauer at one of the monthly events at Planes of Fame in 2012. As a 17 year old teenager Harald flew the He-162 as a factory pilot from the factory to the front lines during the war. Of the 65 factory pilots that started with Harald only 5 which included himself survived the war. Harald flew black op reconnaissance missions for the US Navy during the Korean war. Wheels

Hangar #1 which is one of the two Historic Hangars built in 1942 that were part of MCAS Tustin burned down last week. Google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jv1PUguNPibRw2M39 MCAS Tustin @ Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Corps_Air_Station_Tustin I used to drive by them on a regular basis from 1985 to 2005 for work.

Nice video of the interior sections of BB-35. https://youtu.be/GgfGGNNUYas?si=gc0xb2York2wnKSQ Wheels

Even though she needs a TON of work BB-35 is still a beautiful ship. Wheels

It always amazes me what you miss while you are flying the missions. Deacon said he was on the ground but I flew right over him and I did not see him during our session since I was concentrating on the target, which I had just attacked, and trying to avoid flak, which ironically I did not see either and it is in the top left of the screenshot. From the screenshot I attached which I took from the video it looks like I am banking so I can fly over him. However I only saw where he and the flak were located while I was watching the recording I made during our session. The Nvidia GeForce Experience recording program has been good to me so far. Wheels

Must have been a real pain in the rear having to chase your tank all over the place during a wind storm. Wheels

I have been binge watching the original eleven seasons of Frasier on Amazon Prime since October 14th. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106004/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106004/ I made it to season 6 episode 21 this time and I remember why I stopped binge watching the series last time. The situations Frasier finds himself in are getting so far fetched just about every episode that it is hard for me to stay interested for the entire episode. I think the formula worked during its initial broadcast run since you had to wait a week between episodes which gave you time to somewhat forget about the last wacky scenario and you were looking forward to spending another day with him and his extended family.

Here are a couple quick ones. Scramble Mission October 22, 2023 Three Fw-190's are attacking our base. I takeoff and bag two of them before landing. 352nd_Oscar got the other one. Bender still thinks he shot down my second victim. Circus Tank One of the funny glitches that can happen in IL-2 Great Battles. I hit an invisible object in my tank and it causes me to leap into the air. Wheels

Cool pictures. @Pfeil. Wheels

Did not quite make the ground loop. Wheels

And that is how you get top priority to to the ramp! Wheels

Good to know. Wheels
