Title: Famous WWII B-17 "Liberty Bell" is in Tampa, FL this Weekend - COOL Photos
Post by: TwinEng on September 26, 2009, 07:12:13 PM
The famous restored WWII warbird Boeing B-17 bomber "Liberty Bell" is in Tampa, FL this weekend for viewing.   Tours inside the plane are being offered, and for a hefty fee, you can even take a 30 minute flight in the old warbird, and be allowed to move all around the plane while in flight.

Here is an ABC News story all about the visit:

Great pics!

By the looks of the "nose art" it must have been a cold day in Tampa!  ;)

Oops, sorry about that.   I did not checkout the nose art that carefully.
