#WarbirdWednesday - a selection from the last Flying Legends airshow to take place at Duxford, and there's only been one since then (which I couldn't go to due to other commitments) at another location. Much missed I think on the airshow scene

It’s #WarbirdWednesday, and ICYMI, we've secured the magnetos for #LucyGal’s Merlin engine.
Even better? These mags were built by GM Delco, right here in #RochesterNY - @redtail-lp51.bsky.social'shometown.

Quick look at our freshly cleaned AT-6 (Harvard) in this week’s #WarbirdWednesday short!
A little elbow grease goes a long way - and this one plays an important part in the Lucy Gal project.
Check it out.
Celebrating #WarbirdWednesday with a freshly detailed #AT6 Texan (Harvard Mk. II)!
This aircraft is set to play a key role in both the museum and the Lucy Gal project - and this is just the beginning.

I’m a fan of modern jets, but I also really enjoy the legacy planes. Since it’s #warbirdwednesday and the 4th of July week, here’s a video I’ve been sitting on for a while that is a compilation of several Warbirds from various airshows.
You’ll see several different planes. Can you name them all?
Ever wonder how the Lucy Gal project got started?
This #WarbirdWednesday, I’m telling the full story — my story — in our first YouTube video.

For this #warbirdwednesday, here is a spectacular photo of a #USAF HC-130P Combat King a/c refueling an HH-53 Jolly Green Giant over #Vietnam in 1968. Both of these a/c were critical to combat search and rescue of downed aircrew. #csar #sar #VietnamWar #USAFPhoto
For this #warbirdwednesday, here is a stunning #Kodachrome of 532nd Bomb Sqdn B-17s and a little friend on a practice mission over #Britain in #WWII. High visibility markings on the Forts date this photo to post-June 1944. #USAAF Photo
#WarbirdWednesday, with an aircraft I will have a type rating in one day. The legendary B-25 Mitchell.
#WarbirdWednesday, with the Mitchell. This #B25H featured a 75mm cannon in the nose. The #Tuskegee flew the B-25 stateside during the war, but were never deployed. They would have seen action had the war in the Pacific continued on.

What's #WarbirdWednesday without a B-17?

For #WarbirdWednesday, we believe you can never have too many B-17s. Agree?

It's #Warbirdwednesday - featuring the Erickson Aircraft Collection B-17G 44-8543 painted as "Ye Olde Pub" over the skies of Whatcom County in Washington State with the Aviation Photocrew skyvan last year. How about that sunset golden light?
#WarbirdWednesday is upon us. How do you like this awesome Yak-52, owned by our good friend?
