Hmmm.. B24 just flew over Omaha...
« on: July 15, 2009, 09:46:16 AM »
Right over my workplace.. only a few hundred feet. 

I wonder what's up..

Better go check local events.



Edit:  Ahh.. here we go: http://omaha.com/article/20090714/NEWS02/707139840/0/FRONTPAGE

Dang.. I can't get out there before they leave.

Ploesti style attacks on your office?  :O
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I only saw the B-24 and B-17, was working on my grandpa's farm when i saw 'em fly over. They flew in monday and flew out today, lucky for me the farm is right under the approach for Eppley so i got a pretty good view of them. I only wish i had known of that event sooner.

my family on my father's side is from CB.  (my dad went to abe lincoln back in the day)

a good friend of mine has a farm outside near the interstate in the bottomland below the bluffs that gets direct flights overhead.  very low by that point.

ah yes.  cresent.  nearly broke my neck skiing there on a school trip - once.

(needless to say i am not a fan of skiing, considering that cresent is basically a hill and i nearly wiped myself off the map on that one)
