Sunday, April 6

Went flying today in the club 152. At Bergstrom was a surprise. The day before, working in the garage I heard the deep rumble of a big multiengine. I ran outside to see a WWII bomber flying very close. Not too unusual, there's a couple of CAF squadrons in the area. Then another, and yet another, and I managed a pic of the last one. So fast forward to Sunday.

All three bombers wereat Atlantic. We had to walk under them to get to the 152. What a treat!

Turns out they were from the Boston area and were selling tours and rides. They had a B24, B25, and B17, all of which flew over Lakeway the day before.

The B-17 returning. The field had just gone IFR.

And they had a Mustang.

What a beautiful machine!
