Title: Bomber Eye Candy
Post by: Fulmar on July 18, 2007, 12:10:31 AM
So on my day off today I got the chance to take a look at some of the Collins Foundation bombers that flew in to my town of Eau Claire, WI.  Since I have to work the weekend of the EAA in Oshkosh, this will have to do for the year.
They offered flights from $325 in the fuselage or $400 in the cockpit in each plane; however, being poor is never fun.

Anyways, took a few photos hosted on my site.  I hotlinked them here so you dial up users dont have to wait 6 years for this thread to open.  Each image is about 1mb, 2 panoramics around 3mb.

My computer is acting up. Do you, by any chance, have those stored in a folder? If so would you mind e-mailing them to me? CadetRobin@aol.com  Thank you very much!
