Looks like they've rearranged the exhibits a bit since I was there a year and a half ago. I agree. I was looking online last night in the photo gallery of the National USAF Museum. Many of the aircraft have different paint on them. The F-100 is shown in Thunderbird paint but now its Vietnam Camo. That is just one example.

That is a B-24, Bullhunter, not a B-25.
Your finger must have hit the wrong number

This I believe is a British Spitfire with U.S. Army Air Corp markings. I knew a retired LTC who visited the McChord Museum often and he told me he flew recon in WWII using a Spitfire. No guns, just cameras. Perhaps, Gary this might be the same guy.... USAAF Spitfire 944

Yes it is, LTC John Blyth. We have talked quite abit. What a great video www.sundance.org/stories/article/shorts-break-honor-memorial-day-with-two-stories-of-compassion-amid-war/excerpt from website:In honor of Memorial Day we have two films that explore the fighting spirit and its impact on the lives of brave men in combat. Both tap into the heart of what makes us human by showing wartime scenarios layered with complexities. For aviation fans, get ready for a ton of wonderful archival footage coming your way in William Lorton's Spitfire 944. A true-life story, Lorton has discovered rare 16mm footage of a 1944 spitfire crash and tracks down the pilot, now an 83-year-old World War II veteran to show him the footage. The early parts of this film consists of wartime remembrances and nostalgia for days gone by. The elderly pilot recalls his time spent with his comrades and explains the basic information involved with his aircraft. What he doesn't know is that he is about to see, for the first time in his life, footage of his own crash. When the camera captures the man's honest reaction to what he's viewing, the greater theme at work is suddenly revealed in a flash. The result is an affirming, honest portrait of a man confronted with his past. Pat P.
