LB, yes they originally had the B24 in both Olive and Silver. I got one of each and the silver was actually my favorite, although it got destroyed by a 1/5th scale turbine F16 at a flying event, no survivors.



Here you can see the fate of the Silver B24. I like the position of the port main gear up in the air above what's left of the ship.

Hugh, I've only flown my silver B-24 twice, on a cloudy day. I was having a bit of trouble seeing it against a cloudy sky. Was your green one easier to see when you flew it?

Hugh, I do certainly recall the 'unplanned disassembly' of your beautiful B-24, though it is dreadful to see the photos once again.

Blue on blue incidents are never good, usually avoidable, and happen too frequently IMHO.

I trust those responsible were at the least apologetic.

Are/did you replace the Liberator?

Respectfully, Steve

Oxotnik, my guess is that it was easier to see by everyone with the exception of the 'fast mover' pilot. Best, LB

Yes, the green and splash of yellow were very easy to see, of course until it ended up in pieces, and then it turned into a blur! I did not replace the silver B24 Elbee since I still had the olive one. Was planning on it, but never got around to it and ended up getting a bunch of other aircraft that came out and just kinda moved on. And the other pilot was not all that apologetic, his comment was just happens. And he had a spotter (I think it was Stevie Wonder) and decided to wow the crowd with a low high speed pass over the runway (which was against the rules for the event) despite the fact I had called "Landing", which he had acknowledged. He later said he thought I had already landed, the stupid . He then claimed he had about $2,000 in damages, the poor soul!

Viper owner having a self inflicted pity party. $2K in damage? I buy that if the work was done at a Ferrari Dealership. Still hate to see your loss or any loss for that matter when it is avoidable. Best, LB
