If you scroll down, there's also videos about the B-25J, B-24 and P-51  :)

Thanks for posting that!
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

Tom Reilly (the guy who restored this particular B-17 and many more other aircraft) had a Warbirds Restoration Class. It was a week long hands on experience. We actually participated in the restoration effort. It included a ride in a B-25 and an hour of piloting SNJ (a Navy version of T-6 Texan). The whole thing was just an amazing experience.

This streaming video keeps stopping to buffer every 5 seconds.  :mad:

Must be my slow and crappy internet!
