The Grumman TBF Avenger (designated TBM for aircraft manufactured by General Motors) was a torpedo bomber developed initially for the United States Navy and Marine Corps, and eventually used by several air or naval arms around the world.

It entered U.S. service in 1942, and first saw action during the Battle of Midway. Despite losing five of the six Avengers on its debut, it survived in service to become one of the outstanding torpedo bombers of World War II. Greatly modified after the war, it remained in use until the 1960s.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/grumman-tbm-3s-avenger-1/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/grumman-tbm-3s-avenger-1/ Mon, 09 Apr 2012 01:53:00 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/grumman-tbm-3s-avenger-1/ -28.16191800 153.51086400 <![CDATA[Grumman TBM-3S Avenger]]>

The Stearman (Boeing) Model 75 is a biplane used as a military trainer aircraft, of which at least 9,783 were built in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Stearman Aircraft became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934. Widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman or Kaydet, it served as a primary trainer for the USAAF, as a basic trainer for the USN (as the NS & N2S), and with the RCAF as the Kaydet throughout World War II. After the conflict was over, thousands of surplus aircraft were sold on the civil market. In the immediate post-war years they became popular as crop dusters and as sports planes.]]>

B-17G-105-VE, 44-85740 , civil registration N5017N

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_Overcast

"Aluminum Overcast, B-17G-105-VE, 44-85740 , civil registration N5017N, is a surviving B-17 Flying Fortress. It is owned by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), and it tours the U.S.A. and Canada offering flight experiences. Although never amassing a combat record, and barely escaping the fate of many aircraft that were scrapped after World War II, Aluminum Overcast has become one of the most recognizable examples of the type, due to its extensive touring schedule with over one million flight miles accumulated. The painstaking overhaul and restoration of the airframe took more than 10 years and thousands of hours by dedicated staff and volunteers at EAA Oshkosh, Wisconsin, headquarters. Through its association with the EAA, the aircraft has become a living reminder of World War II aviation for many years to come. Aluminum Overcast proudly carries the colors of the 398th Bomb Group of World War II, which flew hundreds of missions over Nazi-held territory during the war. Aluminum Overcast commemorates B-17G AAF Serial No. 42-102515, shot down over France in 1944.[1]"]]>

The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft used by the Royal Air Force and many other Allied countries through the Second World War. The Spitfire continued to be used into the 1950s both as a front line fighter and in secondary roles. It was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft and was the only Allied fighter in production throughout the war.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/supermarine-spitfire-mk-ix/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/supermarine-spitfire-mk-ix/ Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:41:29 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/supermarine-spitfire-mk-ix/ 51.54152000 -0.47207200 <![CDATA[Hawker Hurricane]]>

Tail Number 8610 is the aircraft responsible for the call sign Air Force One. It seems that the Columbine was confused by an air traffic controller with a flight number 8610 and the later was given precedence over the Columbine.

"23 Skidoo" P-38J Lightning at Chino
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]

"Easily one of the most recognizable fighters of its time because of its distinctive twin-boom design, the Lockheed P-38 Lightning was one of the most famous American warplanes of World War Two and the mount of America's two top aces—Dick Bong, who scored 40 aerial victories, and Tommy McGuire, who was credited with 38 kills. However, although more than 10,000 Lightnings were built during the war, the big fighter did not fit into the Air Corps' post-war plans and was soon retired from service.

Today, there are probably fewer than a score of intact Lightning airframes left in the world and only about half a dozen of those are flyable or restorable to flying condition. The most recent Lightning to be restored to flying condition is P-38J-20-LO serial 44-23314 which, after 28yr of inactivity, took to the skies once more at the Chino Airport in Southern California on July 22, 1988. Bearing the civil registration N29Q, this aircraft belongs to The Air Museum's "Planes of Fame" collection and was the object of a 13-month restoration project by Steve Hinton's Fighter Rebuilders crew at Chino and "Planes of Fame" volunteer workers.

Including its wartime service with the Army Air Corps, 44-23314 had a total of only 121hr on its airframe before restoration. It just flew for a short time with training squadrons in Texas and Florida during the last year of the war before being declared surplus."]]>

On 18 April 1942, sixteen B-25B Mitchell bombers were launched from the aircraft carrier Hornet 600 miles off the coast of Japan. Just four months after the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, their mission was to attack the Japanese cities of Tokyo and Nagoya in a daring raid intended to act as a diversion and to boost American and Allied morale. The plan was to launch the bombers 400 miles off the coast of Japan, attack the cities and continue on to friendly airfields in China. The mission was manned by volunteer air crews and lead by Lieutenant Colonel James H. Doolittle. The bombers had to launch 200 miles farther from Japan than intended after coming across Japanese picket ships further out than expected, making it unlikely that they would be able to reach the safety of the Chinese airfields. As a result of the attack Japanese High Command, embarrassed by the attack on Tokyo, resolved to eliminate American aircraft carriers to avoid another such raid, a decision that ultimately lead to the Japanese loss at the battle of Midway six weeks later. Though only mildly successful militarily, the Doolittle raid was a tremendous morale boost and forever emblazoned the B-25 in American history. It was just one example of the heroic actions taken by the brave young men during World War II.

Bringing together the legacy of those brave veterans and the B-25, the Disabled American Veterans has teamed up with Larry Kelley, owner of the B-25 “Panchito”, to promote their services at air shows across the country. Through their Airshow Outreach Program, the Disabled American Veterans honors the men and women who have served our country in all wars and raises public awareness of the sacrifices of our armed forces. By joining up with Larry Kelley and Panchito, the Disabled American Veterans is spreading their message of the services available to all disabled veterans and their families. Panchito has proven to be a strong draw to young and old alike at airshows, helping to spread the Disabled American Veterans message across the generations.

Only about two dozen airworthy B-25’s exist today. Restored in 1986 by Tom Reilly, Panchito is a beautiful example of the type. Kelley bought Panchito in 1997 and bases the aircraft at Georgetown, DE (GED).

The present day Panchito is restored to the wartime markings of pilot Don Seiler’s B-25J from the 396th Bomb Squadron, 41st Bombardment Group, 7th Air Force. The original Panchito flew 19 missions over Japan from December 1943 to October 1944. Seiler named his B-25 Panchito after the feisty rooster in the 1943 Disney film “the Three Cabarellos”. Over the years, Kelley has gathered hundreds of signatures from B-25 veterans on the replica 500 pound bombs hanging in the bomb bay.

When asked what it’s like to fly the B-25, Kelley explains that flying the plane is straightforward, but taxiing can be a challenge with the free castering nose wheel. Kelley describes the sound level on the flight deck as: “Imagine you have a metal bucket over your head with two jackhammers attacking each side of that bucket, and you know how it sounds in a B-25! Now I know why most of the men who flew these airplanes now wear hearing aids”.

The Disabled American Veterans has an extensive airshow schedule with Panchito for the 2008 season. Starting in August, you can see Panchito and visit the Disabled American Veterans mobile interactive display at the following airshows: Great State of Maine Air Show, Brunswick, ME. Sept 6 – 7. VFW Veterans Salute, Hartford, CT Sept 27–28. Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, FL Nov 8 – 9. NAS Pensacola Homecoming, Pensacola, FL Nov 15 - 16. If you are planning to attend any of the shows above, make some time to stop by and see Panchito up close and check out the Disabled American Veterans display. You can learn more about the Disabled American Veterans at dav.org. Find out more about the history of the present day Panchito at ragwingsandradials.com.]]>

"NX909TC" F7F-3N Tigercat at Van Nuys
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: Pdunn
@ 2009-10-11 11:08:45
Unusual for a fighter, the Tigercat was designed for use aboard larger Midway-class aircraft carriers. Sped into production before the first prototype flew, the Tigercat was intended as a close air support aircraft in the later stages of WWII for the numerous landing operations underway in the Pacific. However, after VJ-Day, their production was halted, resulting in no Tigercats seeing action during WWII. Of the fewer than 100 built, today only six remain airworthy.

The Stearman (Boeing) Model 75 is a biplane, of which at least 9,783 were built in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s as a military trainer aircraft.[1] Stearman became a subsidiary of Boeing in 1934. Widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman or Kaydet, it served as a Primary trainer for the USAAF, as a basic trainer for the USN (as the NS & N2S), and with the RCAF as the Kaydet throughout World War II. After the conflict was over, thousands of surplus aircraft were sold on the civil market. In the immediate post-war years they became popular as crop dusters and as sports planes.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/boeing-stearman-model-75-kaydet/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/boeing-stearman-model-75-kaydet/ Fri, 04 Sep 2009 10:18:05 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/boeing-stearman-model-75-kaydet/ -37.66883500 176.19795900 <![CDATA[De Havilland Australia DH-82A Tiger Moth]]>

The de Havilland DH 82 Tiger Moth is a 1930s biplane designed by Geoffrey de Havilland and was operated by the Royal Air Force and others as a primary trainer. The Tiger Moth remained in service with the RAF until 1952 when many of the surplus aircraft entered civil operation. Many other nations used the Tiger Moth both in military and civil applications and the ubiquitous little trainer is still in great demand worldwide as a recreational aircraft. It is still occasionally used as a primary training aircraft, although now most Tiger Moths employed in training duties are used by pilots gaining experience for "taildragger" license ratings.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/de-havilland-australia-dh-82a-tiger-moth/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/de-havilland-australia-dh-82a-tiger-moth/ Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:46:46 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/de-havilland-australia-dh-82a-tiger-moth/ -32.09807900 115.87355500 <![CDATA["Grumpy" B-25J Mitchell 45-8883]]>

Tondelayo and the B-17 Nine-O-Nine visited Vandenberg Airport February 4 - 6, 2008 as part of the "Wings of Freedom Tour."

Here is the press release describing the event:

The Wings of Freedom Tour of the WWII Vintage Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and North American B-25 Mitchell Announce Unique Display in Tampa at Vandenberg Airport from February 4 to February 6

The Collings Foundation’s Wings of Freedom Tour Brings Both Rare Bomber Aircraft for Local Living History Display as Part of 130-city Nationwide Tour

WHAT: The Collings Foundation’s WINGS OF FREEDOM TOUR of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress “Nine O Nine” heavy bomber and the North American B-25 Mitchell mid range bomber will fly into Vandenberg Airport in Tampa, FL for a visit from February 4 to February 6 offering local citizens an opportunity to visit, explore, and learn more about these unique and rare treasures of aviation history. The B-17 is one of only 9 in flying condition in the United States, and the B-25 – well known for flying on the Doolittle Raid - is one of only a handful still flying in the United States. Visitors are invited to explore both aircraft both inside and out - $10 donation for adults and $5 donation for children under 12 gives is requested for access to up-close viewing and tours through the inside of the aircraft. Visitors may also experience the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to actually take a 30-minute flight aboard these rare aircraft. Flight experiences are a tax-deductible donation of $425 per person, per flight aboard the B-17 and $400 or $325 aboard the B-25. For reservations and information on flight experiences call 800-568-8924.

WHERE: The WINGS OF FREEDOM TOUR will be on display at Vandenberg Airport in Tampa located at Leading Edge Aviation, 6582 Eureka Springs Rd.

WHEN: The WINGS OF FREEDOM TOUR will arrive at Vandenberg Airport at 2:00 PM on February 4 and will be on display at Leading Edge Aviation at Vandenberg Airport until the aircraft departs February 6 at 12:00 PM. Hours of ground tours and display are: 2:00 PM through 5:00 PM on Monday, February 4; 9:00 AM through 5:00 PM on Tuesday, February 5; 9:00 AM through 12:00 PM on Wednesday, February 6. The 30-minute flight experiences are normally scheduled before and after the ground tour times above.

WHO: The Collings Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit educational foundation devoted to making history come alive and making it available to citizens everywhere. The Nationwide WINGS OF FREEDOM TOUR is in its 19th year and visits an average of 120 cities in over 36 states annually. Since its start, tens of millions of people have seen the B-17 & B-25 display at locations everywhere, some in communities where it would be difficult to travel to visit a museum with a similar focus. The Wings of Freedom Tour is unique in the way it makes history come alive by allowing visitors to actually explore the interior of each aircraft as restored to 1944 standards or actually experience what it would have been like to be a crewmember by taking a flight aboard!

WHY: The WINGS OF FREEDOM TOUR tours the nation as flying tributes to the flight crews that flew them, the ground crews that maintained them, the workers that built them, the solders, sailors and airmen they helped protect; and the citizens and families that share the freedom that they helped preserve. Both the B-17 & B-25 were the backbones of the American effort during the war from 1942 to 1945 and were famous for their ability to sustain damage and still accomplish the mission. Despite the enormous odds and risks by anti-aircraft fire, attacking enemy fighters, vulnerability during low altitude strafing runs and the harrowing environments at high altitudes many B-17s and B-25s safely brought their crews home. After the war, many aircraft were scrapped for their raw metal to rebuild a nation in post-war prosperity and therefore very few were spared. The rarity of the B-17 & B-25 and their importance to telling the story of WWII is why the Collings Foundation continues to fly and display the aircraft nationwide. At each location we encourage local veterans and their families to visit and share their experiences and stories with the public. For aviation enthusiasts and general public, the tour provides opportunity for the museum to come to the visitor and not the other way around! Visitors can find out more by visiting our website at www.collingsfoundation.org.
