Consolidated B-24 Liberator
This WWII era bomber is at the Anoka County Airport (KANE) in Blaine, Minnesota, USA. It blew the #4 engine while flying over the Anoka, Minnesota area. Should be flying within another couple of days. You can get a ride in this aircraft, or it's B-17 partner for $400 USD. It is a real piece of flying history. Note: To my German friends who are amazed at my gun collection....in the USA, if you have enough money, you can buy a real bomber complete with guns. But you can't buy any real bombs.

Ich liebe solche Flugzeuge! Leider gibt es hier in Deutschland keine Möglichkeit mit so einer alten Lady zu fliegen - das könnten dann auch 400,- EUR sein....!Gruß,
