Welcome back!  </p>

I was working in England a few years ago when a group of WWI and WWII collectors flew their aircraft.  It was at a place called the Shuttleworth Collection at the Old Warden Aerodrome in Biggleswade, England.  Everything they have was flyable, some flyable but not flown, but the air show was tremendous.  They had a Battle of Brittain flight which was really impresive.  Quite an event.</p>

The P-51 and A1 Skyraider were the real thing! That was Miss America, she races in the reno air races. She's a local star. http://www.mustangsmustangs.com/p-51...44-74536.shtml
