Spent Saturday at the Planes of Fame Museum they were featuring a discussion on the Battle of Midway featuring the SBD Dauntless. After the discussion the Dauntless did a fly over with a lucky raffle winner as a passenger, dang why not me :blush:

Beautiful crate!

The weathering under the fuselage caught my eye, another interesting thing that I did not know was that the rear twin 30's fold down into the rear upper fuselage.

Cool stuff! Too bad you didn't win the ride; hope you have better luck next time.

Here's a closer look at the SBD rear guns:

Nice shots Merv, ty for sharing.

Hey Merv, Love these photos.
The mostly engine and oil leaking is great.
The SBD is a favorite for sure.

That's pretty cool! I'd love to fly in one of those birds!
