brought my 88 yr old dad to see it in 1999 when he was in the early stages of alzheimer's. he was a propeller mechanic in wwll. he proceeded to strike up a conversation with the crew and told them everything you could ever want or need to know about the plane from the pitch of the props to the loaded max weight! they were quite entertained and proceeded to give him a speci

A Grand Dame of war machines to be sure. I'm not enough of a plane enthusiast to go to air
