Awesome! Where did you hear that?

Edit: Watched a recent podcast with Kevin Walsh, he mentioned that a Growler will do a legacy flight and mini demo.

And also, this is slightly unrelated, but in the podcast Kevin Walsh stated that the Snowbirds will do a full show on June 22 at Willow Run Airport to celebrate YAM's anniversary. This show is going to be drive-in style and the Snowbirds will stage out of Windsor. The only thing I am puzzled by is that the Snowbirds have Hanover, Ontario on their schedule for the same date. I won't get my hopes up just yet.

Since YAM's Mitchell is being repainted, they have revealed to us that the new name for it will be "Rosie's Reply"!

So I guess you can go ahead and cross off "Yankee Warrior" and add "Rosie's Reply" ;)

While you are editing, YAM's B-25 is a D model.

One of only two remaining airworthy D models I might add!

Might have both of them in attendance ;) along with the rest of the non-J's, wouldn't that be nice...

Skyraider for the HF. I hope there can be some switches and their Corsair can do the Legacy, but not getting my hopes up. That would mean Milson would be on double duty that weekend.

I read that Scooter was attending TOM, Was he bringing his P-51 "Quicksilver" or a F-4 Corsair? I've been hearing mixed reports.

The Instagram story with his schedule release said "Legacy Flight Only." Not sure whether that means he'll be flying "Korean War Hero" or another Corsair.

Would be pretty cool if the Skyraider is indeed flying in the Heritage Flight. I have yet to see one involving a Skyraider - I always seem to miss those days at Oshkosh. When I saw the WHF schedule I assumed it would be Moonbeam.
