The most authentic B-24 still in operation is owned and operated by the Collings Foundation. The aircraft is a B-24J named “Witchcraft”. We venture to Valparaiso, Indiana for a weekend of watching several aircraft in operation. Besides watching action with the B-24, you will enjoy seeing 2 different P-51’s, a B-25, and a B-17 flying. The B-24 is seen over a three-day period, as it takes riders for flight experiences. We will showcase footage of the aircraft on the ground as it prepares for flights, taxi shots, take-offs, landings, and some nice flyovers in good weather. Sometimes you will see more than one aircraft moving at the same time. The B-24 is much rarer than even the B-17s that are still flying today. These B-24 type aircraft are larger than the B-17’s and were used in all theaters during the war.

In August of 2016, Greg traveled to the Porter County Regional Airport at Valparaiso Indiana for a huge variety of aircraft action, that also included the B-24 itself as well as some other planes on the same visit as the Witchcraft.
Here’s the segments that appear in order:
1. Friday August 5, 2016 with since been scrapped B17 Nine-O-Nine & the B24 itself, as well as commentary voices from the visitors (This B17 was gone for good in October of 2019 in Connecticut)
2. Saturday August 6, 2016 with P-51C Mustang: Betty Jane, B-25J: the Tondelayo taking off & landing, plus TF-51D: the Toulouse Nuts, & even the witchcraft itself
3. A short Musical montage of these planes during WWII in 1944 with vintage black & white films
And 4. Sunday August 7, 2016 with all 5 planes in action
The bonus flashback that was filmed by Phil Estep was captured on October 29, 1989 (12 days after an earthquake struck the San Francisco Bay Area in California) as the plane makes some early morning preparations at the town of Mount Comfort while a family comes to take a look at the Witchcraft itself. It ran for 15 minutes, & most of the planes seen in this program are owned by the Collings Foundation of Stow Massachusetts.
Like many of Greg’s 2017 titles minus the original 1987 editing of Norfolk & Western 1218 Rebuilt & Roanoke Bound, this was narrated by Brian Sellers.
