One last B17 mission...
« on: August 20, 2011, 08:06:43 PM »
A week or two ago I posted a tread about how a local WWII B17 Vet was going to take one last flight at a local airshow. Well here is the video of him getting to fly.

I love the part where to talks about the B17s being shot full of holes yet still able to fly. It really brings home point of how darn tough those planes were.
