So on June 23, the Yankee Air Force held what they call Wings and Wheels. I actually think this is the second time they did this. Basically they assemble a bunch of old planes and old cars. I wasn't sure I would be interested in it until I saw a handful of planes fly over my apartment. They didn't have much flying when I got there but it was still pretty neat.
A TBM Avenger. They had another one of these but I didn't get great pictures of it.
A B-25 Mitchell bomber.
A Catalina flying boat.
The Yankee Lady coming in for a landing with an old Bell Helicopter behind her.
She moves forward a little bit.

Another angle.
It was hard getting clean shots but this one came pretty close.
A Bell Helicopter made famous by MASH.
I think this is an AT-6 Texan.
I'm not sure what this plane it.

the EC-121.
They let me get a little closer to the Yankee Lady. That was pretty cool because I usually can't get clean shots like this.
The nose art.
Another shot of the helicopter.
I tried to slow the shutter speed down to get some blur in the rotors.
It comes in for a landing.
Another shot.
the Yankee Lady taking another group of people out.
She taxis bye. Unfortunately, it was a pretty hot day and I couldn't get shots as it took off.
A P-51 in front of the tower.
They repainted their C-47 to look like a plane from the Burma theatre. While I liked the old pattern better, this one is pretty cool.
An old 737.
A DC-9.
A Piper Cub.
The Yankee Lady coming back in.
I think this is a Grumman Goose.
A Stearman PT-17.
