One of my favorite airshows I've been to was an evening show at my hometown airport. They had that B-17 flying in the sunset along with a few Mustangs and a Hellcat and Zero chasing about the sky. Amazing sight and sounds. Then they landed and all taxied about 5ft away from us on the way to parking.

I took these the next day while playing waist gunner. Sentimental Journey

Spent the whole rest of the weekend rushing outside every time I heard the sound of a four engine heavy flying overhead as she was giving rides till Monday.

Post by: SKJohn on April 15, 2011, 11:56:16 AM: That's my local airport - Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ! That B-17 and B-25 are with the Arizona Wing of the CAF based at Falcon - get to see them everytime I go to the airport. A ride in either one of them is IIRC, about $400. Hoping to someday hae the extra money laying around to go and ride in them. Beautiful video - thanks for sharing!
