Was going to lunch and spotted a B17 flying overhead. Ate lunch and then went out to the secondary airport in town to check it out. Managed to get there in time to get a good walkaround and take some camera pics, chat with the pilot of a Mustang that was parked there too, and catch the startup and takeoff of the next flight. It was fantastic. I couldn't manage to get the camera going again in time to catch the runup and actual takeoff, but I did get some crappy shots of the startup. Anyway, just phone camera pics, but here they are, enjoy!

Nice pictures :rock

Those are some nice pictures, whenever i got an airshow it always rains and the pictures are horrible.

I guess the light was good or I got lucky somehow. Usually my phone pictures come out terrible. What was cool about this was that it wasn't an airshow, the bomber was just visiting and I happened to catch it. Guess I got lucky all around.
