Does this work

WWSensei and the Yellow Rose

WWSensei and the Yellow Rose

WWSensei has taken an opportunity to volunteer with the Commemorative Air Force. He’s now a ground-crew member helping to maintain the C.A.F.’s B-25 Mitchell “Yellow Rose”.

… I want to take this opportunity to make you jealous. Guess who is getting his first airshow trip as part of the B-25 crew tomorrow? Volunteering for latrine duty last week is paying off. Pics will come when I get back.

Wish I could commute to work like this every day.

Edit/Update: Sensei was kind enough to upload a few more images, and this brief synopsis of his flight:

The trip was to Hearne, Texas to commemorate the establishment of a WW2 internment camp there. Most of the Afrika Corps had been imprisoned there after Rommel’s defeat.

Here are those images, along with Sensei’s comments on them:
