Dottie Mae P-47 Air-to-Air on First Public Flight - 26 Aug 2017 at Warbird Roundup

Ride along in formation with the newly restored World War II combat veteran P-47 Thunderbolt "Dottie Mae" during its first public demonstration flight, over Nampa, Idaho on Saturday, 26 August 2017. John Maloney flew "Dottie Mae". The P-47's owner is Jack Croul of Allied Fighters. The event was the Warhawk Air Museum's annual Warbird Roundup with "Dottie Mae" as featured guest. The Planes of Fame Museum's F4U-1 Corsair joined the formation too. "Dottie Mae" was restored by Mike Breshears and his team at Vintage Airframes in Caldwell, Idaho. Later, watch as the F4U, P-40s, a P-38 and the Planes of Fame Museum's special B-25 photography aircraft launch into a smoky afternoon sky at Nampa during Saturday's show. The Warbird Roundup continues to polish its reputation as a down-home, friendly Idaho event that attracts world-class warbirds, including the Warhawk Air Museum's own P-40s and P-51C. Special thanks to the Warhawk Air Museum, P-47 pilot John Maloney, P-51 pilot Rob Gordon, and the staff of the Nampa Airport. (Have you subscribed to the Airailimages Channel on YouTube? Thanks!)
