Video: The Memphis Belle, tour and departure from Batavia
The movie version of the Memphis Belle is based at the Warplane Museum in Geneseo but it often flies to other parts of the country for airshows, like one recently in Virginia. The airfield in Geneseo is grass, so when it returned to Western New York, it landed in Batavia because the field in Geneseo was soggy.
While it was at the Genesee County Aiport, several people asked me to go out to the airport and take pictures of it. On Tuesday, while driving down East Saile Drive, I thought, I have a little time, I should stop.
Good timing. The pilots showed up while I was setting up my camera for video. They were there to fly it back to Geneseo. I got a tour of the plane, an interview with Craig Wadsworth, and shots of it departing.
Other news the past couple of days delayed my efforts to edit the video but here it is.
