The aircraft that opened South Paciific at the Muny was not the B-17 LIberty Bell, but Show Me, a B-25 flown with tender loving care by our own Missouri Wing of the Commemorative Air Force.

I saw this fly over Tower Grove South earlier today and it was an awesome sight! Thanks for bringing it to Saint Louis.

Several years ago I saw "South Pacific" at the Muny. During the overture of the show, a WWII bomber flew low over the audience. It was great - and totally set the mood for the show. I didn't realize until now, but I bet the plane was the Liberty Belle. Thanks Muny and Liberty Belle (I think) for a great memory.
