Good stuff!  Seeing the real thing always puts things in to perspective for me.  We have it easy in AH, so many things are done for us.

The Typhoons rolling in for a rocket run made me smile.   :aok

It appears to me that the B17 shown taxiing has four flex mounted 50 caliber guns in the nose of the aircraft.  Can anyone else confirm that this is what I'm seeing?

Could be.  Cheek gun on each side, some field modes had two guns mounted through the front plexiglass.
