Weekly Update - 29August to 04September from CAF Minnesota Wing Blog by Commemorative Air Force, MN Wing
Good Evening Everyone! This week was very busy, but unfortunately picture taking was a low priority. Saturday the B-25 was in Aberdeen, ND. It's getting close to the end of the season for the B-25, and will be entering the maintenance portion of the year very soon. The P-51 was out to Offutt Air Force Base for a show. It arrived home early in the week. The hangar was buzzing with activity on Saturday, many many projects were worked on. The PT-22 is done save for some needed paperwork, the motor pool is coming along nicely and the museum is going to have some new displays soon. Wednesday, Steve Brown visited for a meeting with the Red Tail Project initially, and attended a barbecue for the membership to have discussions on policy, the wing, and the CAF as a whole. It was well received and an enjoyable event. As I was writing this, I got an e-mail from Max Haynes. A flyover took place today in honor of Vernon Hopson, a local Tuskegee Airman. Max had the opportunity to use the B-25 as a camera-ship, and I'm very happy to share some of them with you! Enjoy!

Leaving on a Jet Plane.... or something like that. from CAF Minnesota Wing Blog by Commemorative Air Force, MN Wing
Preparing for any trip in the B-25 takes some time. The crew works hard to pack, clean, inspect and load up the aircraft. It's always worth it, though! On lucky days, a member or two may show up and help out!

Shuttling the Shuttle: Twin fuselage C-5 Galaxy from The Unwanted Blog by admin
Taken from a NASA briefing is a drawing showing a twin-fuselage C-5 transport plane designed to carry the Space Shuttle Orbiter. Advantages of doing it this way - rather than using a more-or-less standard 747 - include easier mating (simply tow the Shuttle underneath, no giant cranes needed) and safer drop testing… just drop it. Additionally, much more “stuff” could be carried by the aircraft. Disadvantages would include a far more extensive modification and qualification program, as well as limitations regarding runway width.
