Rather impressive indoor arena that you CD your event at MD. When you say debut, static display:Cool: or fly :Scared:
I think this may be one of the last big indoor events still going, since EFest and the Horizon Indoor stopped.
(BTW I'm not the CD, I'm the promoter and treasurer)
Whether we get to fly the B24 indoors at this venue really depends on its slow-speed characteristics. It will be totally cool if I can pull it off. I've flown my big B17 and that B36 in there, so I'm pretty sure it can be done. Keeping in mind my B36 probably has 1/2 the wing loading...
Anyway I'm hoping to try it out before the main event (we also fly indoors during the winter, once a month)
Of course most planes at these events are under 1 pound. Large planes like this are flown as demos instead of participating with the open flying, but its still impressive and the crowds love it!
I would love to show off the Liberator. It will look fantastic as a static display as well.Marc flies FW & FL: AL37, MiG-29, T45,F4, A4, A10, F104 70 and 90, P38, Dauntless SBD, Corsair, B17, B24, B26 & P61, Lipp.P19, ME262, Komets, Vampire, SeaVixen, FMS Tigercat, FOX Glider & Radian XL.

Does anyone know if the OD green version uses the same colors as the Flightline P38 in OD and gray from a year or so ago? I have both those paint colors left from that project that I had mixed up from Home Depot that I could use to customize the B24 Lib.
Yes, the FlightLine B-24 and P-38 both use the same OD green and gray paint. Simple for all of us who already have the touch up paint.

I went online and learned a lot about the B-24 that I never new before. After reading the stats on the bird, it's history during the war on all theaters of operations, and just the shear number that were built, I decided I had to have one. I fly at the Apollo field with the war bird squadron. Currently I'm able to fly support for the bombers with the Flightline P-38 and the Spitfire. Now I will able to work my into the bomber formation with the B-17's and the other B-24's. I am really looking forward to adding this aircraft to wing.

Now with you getting a 24, that makes myself, Joe (olive scheme), Adam (color ?) that I know of starting a wing of Libs to the B-17 squadron. Going to make for a great vid of them taxing out for takeoff. Your P-38 and Spitfire along with mine can change off flying escort.

Good morning, Brent! What a wonderful airplane!
The NorCal Bomb Squadron has ordered, at last count, 7 of these! The B-24 has been on many want lists for a long time !
