"Nine Oh Nine"
« on: March 19, 2012, 11:48:39 AM »
Well I finally got my ride in a B-17!  :O
I spent St Patricks day at the frontiers of flight museum  at Love field  and while there I took a flight on the Collins foundations B-17G  nine o nine .
It was every bit as awesome as I thought it would be.  The best part may have been me standing with my head out of the radio hatch in the slip steam like a big  happy dog with a huge grin on my face.....
