My first question is what BG's did fly in?
And, just of curiosity, did you have any flights in the Collins foundation B17..."909"?
Indeed! Welcome aboard! My grandfather is a bomber veteran as well, and it's great to hear from the boys who were actually there!evangilder said:Welcome aboard, jhor9! I am sure I speak for most of us here when I say thank you for your service.
syscom3 said:Jhor, what crew position were you? Pilot or copilot?
In 1994, I took a ride in the Collings foundations B17. That was a fun!
