Greg,
Diamond Lil was up in Michigan at "Thunder Over Michigan two weeks ago. You should come up next year. This year we had about 25 AT-6's, SBD's and Harvard's plus a half dozen Mustangs, a P-47, P-38, P-63, a couple of TBM's, two B-25's, the B-24 and a B-17, plus a bunch of jets from various era's. The Thunderbirds were in town or there probably would have been more old military iron. We were supposed to get a Privateer, the Navy version of the B-24, but it didn't show, as did a scheduled P-40. The old girls get cranky from time to time!
