.....was in town for a few days and due to weather earlier in the week I couldn't get in for a flight. Well today was a beautiful day in E. Tn and I was invited to a luncheon and got to go for a ride. I wanted to ride in the ball turret position but my fat ass and their insurance policy wouldn't allow it grin

If I could figure out how to post video off the iPhone, I have some good ones.

No schit, slumlord. I break out in a rash when I even get near the place.

Got a flight on her 12 years ago, worth every penny. Great experience and I’m glad you got a chance to do that. Love those old warbirds.

Having crawled around (but never flew) in a B-17, B-25 and some other military birds, I'm always perplexed at how big they are, and how cramped they are inside. I can't imagine that a bombardier could egress from his fighting position in a B-25 with a chute on. The passage way is so small. My hat's off to the men that flew this magnificent ships.

That's what I was wondering.

Those old WWII aircraft sure attract a lot of attention.
