B-17G Cutaway

[cheddar cheese]

that was a joke, a petty joke

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i took it as quite offensive............

 

[cheddar cheese]

you dont usually

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well i didn't know you meant it as a joke..............

 

[cheddar cheese]

didnt the fact i put a ' ' after it means anything?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

no

 

[cheddar cheese]

ah well 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it's just been us two posting here for ages, perhaps no-one care enough to interfere................

 

[cheddar cheese]

no one cares enough anyway

Look at the little baby B-17...that's a very early B-52 by the way...the 'new' ones have completely different noses.

 

[cheddar cheese]

wow christ, that shows how big the b-52 really is

 

[plan_D]

Haven't you ever seen one? They used to do fly-bys here (at RAF Finningley) when the air shows were on before it shut down.

 

[cheddar cheese]

i havent seen any planes up close

 

[Lightning Guy]

That's a pity. From what I hear the Imperial War Museum is supposed to be top notch.

 

[plan_D]

I've heard that too, but luckily for me my dad was in the RAF so I always got into airshows for free.

 

[Lightning Guy]

Well, over here, I've been able to see the Naval Air Museum and the 8th AF Heritage Museum. I'm hoping to see the USAF Museum this summer. If I do I'm going to kick and scream like a kid until they let me sit in the P-38.

 

[plan_D]

Is that the one in Ohio, Wright Patterson AFB, right?

If so, you lucky B**TARD!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

you think the B-52's big, you should see a B-36, it's as long as the B-52 is wide................

 

[plan_D]

It's good you mentioned that...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

sawell as that, the B-36 makes the B-29 look the size of a fighter, not many "old" planes can say they can do that............
