Anybody know if the "Commemorative Air Force" is a politically correct name for what used to be the Confederate Air Force?

Yes, it is. They were operating the B-17 that came through here last summer.
It is terrific to see that old B-29 back in the air! Thanks for the link.

Politically correct is almost always a bare faced lie!  |

Bob, I was told this plane being restored at Rockliffe airport in Ottawa is a zero. I can see similarities but I also see differences.  Mickey |

Mickey,
I'd never heard of the Nanchang CJ 6, but looking at the link he posted I'd be inclined to go along with Bob.

Tony told me. He is a friendly, likable chap and his hamburgers were excellent. I guess his knowledge of airplanes was a little deficient.  Mickey |

The main thing is that Tony's burgers were good.

Zero didn't have a tricycle landing gear. It is a tail dragger.
