Made some sammich meat, and went for a bucket list ride

[Clay Neubauer]

I was out of sliced lunch meat, and found a 10 lb. whole pork loin on sale for $1.79/lb at local joint. Cut in two pieces to fit in a WSM, here it is just about ready to pull off.

Love my slicer.

Of course, you can't put it all in the freezer without running a quality test, especially when you have fresh green beans in the garden.

And I know it's a food photography forum, but I figured a few of you might like this. If you guys want more of the Fifi ride and some other warbirds, I can add a post and flesh this out a bit.

Clay, I would enjoy reading about the planes. But I say hats off to the man who thinks: Jeez, I'm outta lunch meat, I better go smoke a 10# pork loin. H**l ya!

Worth every penny. It's one thing to read books and see pictures and watch movies, but living a little bit of history, even for just an hour, is really an experience. One of the guys who rode up front, was the son of a WW2 B-29 flight engineer. He was even more excited than me.

Great picture story. I imagine that's a bumpy ride?

Any details on the cook? Got a 9# loin I had different plans for but you may have convinced me otherwise with that lunch meat!

Great post Clay, machinery and lunch meat, thanks. I'm up for more pics.

Sorry guys I had a busy day and didn't get back to this.

View to the front, through the pressurization tube that bridges the aft sections over the bomb bay to the cockpit.

B-25.

My big disappointment was that they didn't fly Diamond Lil the day I was there, 50% of the flyable B-24 Liberators in the world.

Made up for, by seeing the one and only flying Curtiss SB2C Helldiver. The gentleman who took this backseat ride, was a USMC Iwo Jima veteran. You have never seen a bigger smile than what this guy had when he climbed out of the airplane afterward.
