P-51C “Boise Bee” from Moose Peterson Aviation Photography » Flying a succession of aircraft in WWII, Lt Col Duane Beeson started in a Spitfire then P-47s and ended up in a P-51C named “Boise Bee.” A Boise, ID native, Beeson enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force in ’41 being assigned to RAF 71st “Eagle” Squadron. Later, he transferred to the 334th Squadron, 4th FG/8th USAAF. He was nicknamed “Bee” so he naturally decorated his planes as “Boise Bee.” First was his P-47 where he scored 12+ victories. An Ace, he scored the rest of his victories in his P-51C “Boise Bee.” The Warhawk Museum restored their P-51C in his honor and first flew it earlier this year. They had it at Reno Air Races in Sept and it was simply gorgeous to see, in the pits and in the air where it belongs! …Episode 168 – Lori from Flightglobal from Airplane Geeks Podcast by thegeeks@airplanegeeks.com (Airplane Geeks) Guest Lori Ranson is the America’s Air Transport Editor at Flightglobal.

Grumman OV-1B Mohawk walkaround from Travel for Aircraft | I have a personal bias for liking this aircraft. The Mohawk was one of the types flown by my father and was one of the first aircraft I saw flying in an air show (the pilot reversed the props just a bit early and the aircraft appeared to fall, dropping onto the runway but seemed undamaged). It is also stout, with side-by-seating that allows for great viewing not to mention possessing twin engines — what is not to like? The Mohawk pictured below is on exhibit at the U.S. Army Aviation Museum…
