This week, I got to crawl around inside two beautiful birds. They have a combined 270 combat missions between them !

The B-24 "Witchcraft":

Great pics, thanks!

[Sincraft]

You have a BIG brain man!  I bet you are a programmer?
 
No in all seriousness, I can't thank you enough for those pictures.  Those are AWESOME.

I flew in that plane a month ago. lol, was the P-51B there? Was the B-25 there? I had the P-51B but not the B-25. I can find the post, all of those pictures look like the one's I posted a wile back.

[dkff49]

Just out of curiosity, it sounds like you are trying to say that caldera used your pics like they were his own.

[Banshee7]

was the P-51B there?

You can CLEARLY see a P-51 in the background of the next to last picture

[Bosco123]

OBVIOUSLY I only saw the one that I was going to talk about, didn't I.

What B-25 are you referring to?  And are you implying that I used your pics or just duplicated your shots?

Which one are you going to talk about?  When you hear yourself talk, does it make sense to you?  Both of your posts could be worded better.

Is it just me, or does the Tail gunners position on the 24 look a bit exposed? Wouldn't fancy sitting in there with the LW cannon rounds inb...

Usually, they have a B-25 flying around with them, and no I'm not implying that you just duplicated my photos, they go all around America, I know that there is not just me that is going to see those planes.
Yes, I did fly in the B-24, and I can find the post if you would like.

Having been in both....yeah, I think in the B-24 you would at least "feel" more exposed.  You're sitting on a seat with plexiglass in front of you.  In the B-17 you're kneeling and have some armor plate in front of your lower body.

What really feels weird is being in the ball turret in flight.  It's like you're disconnected from the airplane...just hurtling through space in your cramped little ball. <G>

I have a couple videos of the aircraft inflight here: http://www.dalefalk.com/Movies

We were moving from Naples, FL to Marathon, FL.  The meatbomb drop was done in Alaska.

There are other flying vids there as well.
