The AirPower History Tour visits Hammond LA this week only. Don’t miss the rare joint appearance of both a B-24 Liberator and B-29 Superfortress along with their little friends including a P-51 Mustang and T-6 Texan and more. Free cockpit tours included with admission


Sounds like the same group that came to Monroe a few years back. Fifi, an LB-30/B-24 (converted to a VIP transport), and some P-51s. Went aboard the Liberator, but the line for Fifi was just too damn long.

Got some great pictures, though.

Wonder how many machine guns that thing has. We counted either 16, or 18, on the B-25 Mitchell, at the WWII Museum in NOLA,

Looks like 18. Hell of a strafer.

I was with my SWCC Chief nephew, who usually has 50 cal's on his boats. He's over two crews on these CCA's now.



He's home from a deployment where they were based at a facility in Sicily.
