Saw a B17 today

Was going to lunch and spotted a B17 flying overhead.  Ate lunch and then went out to the secondary airport in town to check it out.  Managed to get there in time to get a good walkaround and take some camera pics, chat with the pilot of a Mustang that was parked there too, and catch the startup and takeoff of the next flight.  It was fantastic.  I couldn't manage to get the camera going again in time to catch the runup and actual takeoff, but I did get some crappy shots of the startup. Anyway, just phone camera pics, but here they are, enjoy!








Man that thing sounded fantastic on takeoff.

Nice pictures

Those are some nice pictures, whenever i got an airshow it always rains and the pictures are horrible.

I guess the light was good or I got lucky somehow.  Usually my phone pictures come out terrible.  What was cool about this was that it wasn't an airshow, the bomber was just visiting and I happened to catch it.  Guess I got lucky all around.
