More World War Two Warbirds

Quite a few more venerable World War 2 warbirds flew at Thunder over Michigan:

There was the Commemorative Air Force's Lockheed C-60A Lodestar, named "Goodtime Gal":

The beautiful AT-11 "Three Hits And A Miss" took to the skies. I had taken pictures of it on the ground last year but to see it airborne was a whole new experience:

The B-25 Yankee Warrior:

Tomorrow: The Texan Takeover, and more warbirds.

The Art Deco Bomber: The AT-11

Continuing the trainer theme, there was a rare trainer on display at Thunder Over Michigan: The AT-11 Kansan.

The AT-11 was a Beechcraft Model 18 turned into a bomber trainer for training bombardiers, navigators, and gunners before they got to the big bombers during World War II.  Left all polished and shiny, and with red engine cowlings, this one is a flying work of art.

Named Three Hits and a Miss, this aircraft is a very pretty example of the type. A very nice and often overlooked and unrecognized World War 2 American aircraft.
