Just got back from Reading, Pa. Here’s a few pic’s for your enjoyment. The last one is a 50lb bomb that would end any war.[;)]

Nice pics. Bet it was hot out there. Would liove to have seen the Corsairs take to the air. Did they fly together or one at a time?

Marc, Yes it was hot!!! It was a great time though. We left before the Corsairs flew. We did however get to see the 6 SBD’s fly together. That was really cool!!! It was getting too hot for the kids and The one who says she’s always COLD. [:-^] So we had to leave. Just in time too as we were going to the shuttle a skirmish broke out in the German occupied French village. We narowly escaped.[swg]

Sounds great. That carrier is amazing

Raider, The gentleman sitting with the carrier built it. I think he said it was a 6 year build. There were a few others there he had also built. (scratch) They are all R/C also !!! He has the cargo ship from Mr. Roberts with every thing including the palm tree!

Really great pics Chris. Thanks for spending the time in the hot sun to get them for us. Glad you got out of town before the firefight started.[(-D] Well, sorry, you probably wanted to see how it ended.[(-D] Maybe I’ll see you there next year.

Thanks Medic18! Great photos! Lots of grist for the mill there! I have never seen that old an SBD live before. Great job![tup]

Namrednef, I don’t believe you are seeing an old SBD now. Looks like a sheep in wolf’s clothing T-6.

Notice the pointed tail in Medic’s picture.

Thanks for the pics! My dad and I were there, too, and yes, it was hot! Not quite as hot as last year, I think, because it wasn’t as humid, and there was a breeze.

The Corsairs did fly, in a little reenactment with the Avenger and with the Val (a converted Texan).

The “Dauntlesses” are also converted Texans, but they’re still pretty cool to see.

The P-40E and a P-51D were featured in the last flight, tied in with the ground re-enactment. They flew close air support for US troops skirmishing with the Germans.

The WWII weekend is really great, I recommend it for aircraft fans, or even just for history buffs.

Regards,
