Lunchtime treat...

[popeye]

Went outside to find some lunch.  The sky was a bright blue with big puffy white clouds, a perfect summer day.  As I was walking down the street, I heard the low drone of multi engine, looked up just in time to see a B-17G come over the treeline at about 4k feet.  He flew right overhead then made a lazy banked 90 degree turn to the north.  I stood there watching til he was out of sight....

I think it was the "Yankee Lady" out of Willow Run.  What a beauty.

A treat indeed  

I learned to fly there at Willow Run (Willow Run Airflight), and my grandma riveted B24 Liberators there. My mom lives on Bomber Ave. in Ypsilanti!

Now I live near Ft. Lauderdale, and every now and then I get to see a B-17 flying over our home, always relatively low. It really makes your day.
