Re: Anita Perry uninjured in accident in vintage bomber

That's an AP story. It could well be a machine transcription of a TV broadcast. All this stuff is more automated than you might imagine.

Newspapers have not employed proofreaders for years, and editors typically don't read every word of every article. The days of "The Front Page" or even "All the President's Men" are long gone.

Re: Anita Perry uninjured in accident in vintage bomber

Lone Star does indeed have a B-25: http://www.lsfm.org/b25doolittlemitchellbomber.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I don't know if it is based there or flies in on occasion. I have never seen it in the air. (I see the B-17 often.)

I second Charles's use of deadly force course. After you take it, you'll be going :banghead: Why did I wait so long? Even if you have to drive from Austin or wherever, it's worth it.

Re: Anita Perry uninjured in accident in vintage bomber

It's good to see you around again, Jim.

I don't know who owns that B-25. It might be this one:

Anita Perry uninjured in accident in vintage bomber

At the Jardin Ranch near Encinal, Texas, today Anita Perry was riding in a WW II-era B-25 bomber when the landing gear collapsed and an engine caught fire.

No one was hurt.
