After the two-day show that ended on Tuesday, it looks like they waited until Wednesday to fly the paying passengers, who paid $400 for the ride.

First, it was the B-24 (appearing at long last) making lazy turns over Alton, Ossipee, Wolfeboro, and Melvin Village before heading west and out of sight. In the afternoon, the B-17 came over and did a similar tour. Both were flying at a very reduced speed.

I've got photos of each overhead, but have to figure out how to get them from the camera into this computer.

Here's some great Warbird closeups in the meantime:

Monday update:

While out sailing in the heat of a late-September afternoon (!), I heard another deep airplane sound. Sure enough, it was a B-25—the twin-engined Warbird most likely the same plane on display at last week's Laconia airshow.

It was on a Cow Island-to-Plymouth pathway. Two hours later, the same drone was heard at 4:30PM, but out of sight over Rattlesnake Island way.

Still struggling with Corel 6 to get the pictures out.
