Thanks for sharing the pics Chuck. That is a beautiful looking Firefly, did it do a display or was it just visiting?

Martin - the Firefly is flying both days of the show. It's from the San Diego Air and Space Museum. That BIG Griffon engine sure makes some noise.

It's not the only one flying, we have one in Canada with the CWH in the only markings a Firefly should wear, that is RCN!!

Still, she's a beauty!

Sorry OllieC guess I was mislead, they have so many onlys here at Chino, Palm Springs and San Diego sometimes I guess they get carried away with it.
