There were two WWII bombers on display at the Findlay airport for the first week of June: a B-24 and a B-29. A co-worker and I stopped by to check them out and snap some pictures.
All of the thumbnails shown here are links to larger versions of the image. The larger versions have been sized to be viewable on a 640x480 display (or larger).
Check out the art work on the B-24.
I'm not sure why I have two virtually identical pictures... Hm.
This is a very large aircraft. The interesting thing about the B-24 is that the landing
gear folds horizontally into the wings.
The tail of this plane is simply enormous.
The cockpit of the B-29. The pilots and front gunner had quite a good view of what was
coming at them.
Compare the B-29 to the truck and people in front of it. It's just plain huge.
A similar shot, head-on.
The force required to pull this plan through the air was provide by four massive props. At
a glance, they appear to be 10-12 feet across.
And a tail shot of the B-29.
Both of these planes, as seen from a distance.
A similar shot with a better view of the B-24.
While we were out at the airport, we got to see one of Marathon's jets take off.
