    It surprises me that more people know of the European based BBD than the US based one?
    Maybe it's just because I always see it here in Oshkosh every summer...
    True, from happier times at Osh 2013...

    Didn't think there was more than one BBD, thought the only one was the one that crashed at Duxford. Nice to see her put down safely
