I didn't see the dedication, but I was there the day it went on display and it was a beautiful restoration.
I was fortunate enough to board the Collings Foundation's 909 when it visited locally, along with the All American (B-24). Standing in the top gunner position with a t-shirt and leather jacket on, the position was pretty snug. I never could have been a ball turret gunner.
I have always had a fascination with and enduring respect for those who flew in those planes, especially in combat.

12 O'Clock High remains one of my favorite movies.)
