I took a ride on a B-24J recently and had my AH scenario pals in mind during it.  A pictorial is here, with references to some of them:

Nice photo diary, Brooke!  Thanks!

Does I sense a B-24 scenario coming out of you?  ;)

Heh!  Maybe!  Actually, I'm hoping folks already have several scenario designs that they would like to run soon, but I'm willing to try my hand at a design if not.

Nice AAR Brooke! Great pix and an experience to remember, I'm sure!

That co-pilot looks to be about the age you
would have expected a WWII pilot to be at the time!

Great write up !

Picture 26. I check left. It's all clear, as ROC, Jordi, and Whels have done forward sweeps and cleared a path.

I doubt you will find ME in a fighter sweep !

Well, how about a sweep in an XB-41 or YB-40?

Thanks, Newman.  Will do.  I still need to come visit you in your neck of the woods one of these days! :)

Also, Roscoroo knows a WWII bomber pilot who lives near him up in Lynwood.  Maybe he'd go out to dinner with the three of us sometime.
