That airplane is "Sentimental Journey" and is a regular on the airshow circuit. It was at a local airport several years ago after I had returned from a Mini Reunion at Glatton and had obtained copies of several pieces of information about the base including an airport diagram.
As I watched it in the pattern from my house it occurred to me that whatever the origin of that actual airplane (it never saw combat and was never actually in the 457th) that documentation might be of interest to the crew and the organization, so I gave it to them.
I have no idea if they ever did anything with it but I know I felt better afterward.
