Thanks, JM, for buy the ticket last night. sold 14 total. I will be selling at the Howard Co MD Farm museum show on Sunday!

JM 35 Sedan · 05-17-2017, 10:18 AM

Cecil, if my wife gives me an advance on my monthly allowance, I'll buy another ticket Sunday, or at Chantilly, even though I think I already bought the winning ticket last night

Cecil, I'll see you for a ticket at Chantilly. We're looking forward to the meet.

Cecil/WV · 05-18-2017, 09:00 AM

There will be a table set up at Chantilly where you can get tickets, or see me!

Is it still okay to get tickets by mail?

I'd check the foundation web page but I would assume you can, yes.

Also, what aircraft is your Avatar photo?

Shouldn't be a problem. You can call the Foundation and get them via mail.

The aircraft in his avatar looks like the Collings Foundation's B-24. DD

sidevalve8ba · 05-18-2017, 01:14 PM

Yep, that's the Collings B-24. I have heard it is the only one in flying condition but can't verify that. It was an interesting flight. I would recommend it to anyone.

Technically, Collings' airplane is the ONLY B-24 flying. For eons now, The Commemorative Air Force has been flying Diamond Lil'. It's a dead ringer for a B-24, but technically an LB-30, by the same manufacturer, Consolidated. The LB-30s were VERY early variants built for overseas sale. These two kissin' cousins are the ONLY two airworthy versions of this aircraft type. DD

CAF's LB-30 below!

I think the amazing thing is that there were over 18,000 of them built during the war and I guess that's all that is left.

JM...... I thought your wife said to get a dually??......... Mark

JM 35 Sedan · 05-18-2017, 06:20 PM

Diesels and duallies were too much bread

You can get tickets by phone, but you must pay postage if you want your copy of the stub. Just call Josh 260 667 3775

You can buy them in person at the Meet in Chantilly, Va June 8-11 or at the local show at the Farm Heritage Museum on Sunday, 21st in West friendship, Md.

sidevalve8ba · 05-19-2017, 09:00 AM

Thanks Cecil.

Cecil/WV · 05-30-2017, 09:06 AM

A car like this doesn't come along very often! Tickets are selling very well. I sold 9 tickets to family members Sunday. I can't buy them, myself since I am a trustee!

JM 35 Sedan · 05-30-2017, 12:15 PM

Cecil, you could always buy a bunch of them and give 'em out to your friends so they might win.
