B-17 fun

[evangilder]

Yea, it's a toss up for me on sounds, radials or Merlins. I love both, so I don't think I could pick a favorite.

. This is one of several flights that Joanne and I took on the '909' when it came up to Seattle.

Great shots of a great 'plane guys.

Ref the siting of the undercart switch, Fuddy Duddy has hers way up high on the top of the glare shield to the left of centre, where its obviously seperated from any other switches (first pic). I've included some cockpit shots I took at Oshkosh in 2004 / 5.

Great pics guys! I have seen Liberty Bell, and crawled inside Sentimental Journey when she was in town a few years back! Great stuff.

Gotta get in on this! My favorite aircraft! Is there anything more beautiful than a Fort in OD?

This is the '909 when she came into Cape May, NJ.

And someday, when the tuition payments are done, I'm gonna take a ride!
