Interesting... I'm amazed by the height of the cockpit in the Commando... "Tower to Commando... Could you please move your plane as it's blocking my view of the rest of the airfield...." ;-)

What a wonderful line-up classics, Sig! I've seen the B-24 and C-46 at air shows in Houston. Have "Diamond Lil" in my gallery, too.
