I was intently involved shooting a FIFI landing at the New Century airport when I got a call from a friend at the Topeka Airport saying The Collings Foundation
\nB-24, Witchcraft, was going to be a little bit late departing TOP for the Wheeler Airport in downtown KC.\u00a0 Exceeding the I-35 speed limit (only a teensy) allowed
\nme to make the 20 or so miles to the downtown KC Airport with at least two minutes to spare.\u00a0 I quickly got to my favorite shooting spot on top the north hill
\nand there she was\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 on a right base out there in the haze.<\/p>\n

The same strong south wind that FIFI had been fighting on landing a few zip codes to the south, made its presence known to Witchcraft also.\u00a0 It was sort of
\ndifficult to hold steady and shoot from the top of that hill.<\/p>\n

The Collings B-17 that was supposed to accompany Witchcraft to KC, had blown an engine and was receiving a new power plant in Colorado.<\/p>\n
