A Willow Run Bomber Plant myth? NO!!! This is the real story - Building B24s took all the women and other "little people" who could make the trip to Willow Run to get the job done. If you're in the area, take a moment to notice the history that surrounds us, including this amazing artifact of one of the ways Willow Run was able to be a major part of FDR's Arsenal of aviation Democracy:

The assembly lines at Willow Run needed small adults to work in cramped spaces, so they hired some of the Munchkins from The Wizard of OZ

What a great day at Thunder to meet and greet some amazing visitors while the clouds stayed high, the rain went elsewhere, and the haze was at bay. Looking forward to one more day of the most fun all summer long!

These Super Rosies are framed by "Bertha", the C-5M Super Galaxy behind them on the tarmac at Thunder Over Michigan. While the wildfire haze certainly caused constraints to everything outdoors from north of the 49th parallel all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, visibility cleared a bit yesterday afternoon in Belleville for this view of the largest strategic airlift aircraft in the U.S. Air Force inventory. WOW!
