That is a cool story - One note - that is not the last B-24 flying but it is close please see:

I think I counted 3 but could have missed one or two
Thanks again for posting the story
Correct. This is not the last B-24 flying. Despite many requests from the CAF, Collins Foundation persists in claiming to have the only flying B-24. Not true. Ole ‘927 (formerly Diamond Lil) of the Confederate....urrrr....Commemorative (to be PC) Air Force is certainly flying and I saw it with my own eyes several weeks ago at a warbird fly-in in which we both participated.
I do recognize the good Collins does in providing such rides for vets; I just wish they would stop their erroneous claims.
