Pictures from my flight on the B17G "Yankee Lady"

Hello all,

I thought some of you might like to see some pictures (video to come soon) from my 30minute flight experience aboard the B17G bomber "Yankee Lady" when it was at my local museum in Farmindale New York (republic airfield)

Another thing,

Just me, or does the guy holding the .50 cal look like he uses the B17 to fly to Columbia and back at night.

Okay, I officially hate you now, Jpeg:).  Seriously, nice pics.  Sounds like a dream come true.
