Awfully pretty.

One of my favorite airshows I've been to was an evening show at my hometown airport. They had that B-17 flying in the sunset along with a few Mustangs and a Hellcat and Zero chasing about the sky. Amazing sight and sounds. Then they landed and all taxied about 5ft away from us on the way to parking.

I took these the next day while playing waist gunner. Sentimental Journey




Spent the whole rest of the weekend rushing outside every time I heard the sound of a four engine heavy flying overhead as she was giving rides till Monday.

Cactus, the had to pull me off that waist gun when I was a kid at the Denton airshow. One of the coolest days of my life.

Can happily say that I sat in the B-25's cockpit last september. Shivers went down my spine when I saw the nose art.

The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

That's my local airport - Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ!  That B-17 and B-25 are with the Arizona Wing of the CAF based at Falcon - get to see them everytime I go to the airport.  A ride in either one of them is IIRC, about $400.  Hoping to someday hae the extra money laying around to go and ride in them.  Beautiful video - thanks for sharing!

Like, ya know, when that thing that makes you move, it has pistons and things, When your thingamajigy is providing power, you do not hear other peoples thingamajig when they are providing power.
