Not Exactly A Classic Caddy But.…..

While tak­ing our tra­di­tional break from the New Eng­land weather at the south­ern com­mand post here in sunny South Florida, we have so far man­aged to avoid the Win­ter that never was…  Back home the temps are in the 50’s, my brother had his harley out and every­one seems to be enjoy­ing a very, very mild win­ter.  Looks like it will be a very early Spring in the North­east.  Fin­gers crossed, as you can tell I’m not exactly a cold weather fan.

This week at the Boca Munic­i­pal Air­port, right here in that slice of par­adise called Boca Raton I had a chance to view and tour a few beau­ti­ful old planes that were in town for a few days.  On the tar­mac were a B-24, a B-17 and a P-51 Mus­tang, all beau­ti­fully restored.  What a treat to be able to climb aboard and inspect these vin­tage war machines, not only that there were a cou­ple vet­erens present who actu­ally flew on these babies dur­ing the war.  Hard to imag­ine what it would have been like for these young guys fly­ing around in these tin cans, my hat’s off to each and every one of them!!!  I hope you enjoy the pho­tos even half as much as I did actu­ally see­ing them in per­son!!  Click any image for the full size version.
