Was silver with what Looked like maybe a red panel on the tail, soon as I heard those engines I knew it was going to be cool, didn't have my phone with me..Yeesh what a thrill. Turns out Coloradans offered chance to fly in World War II-era B-17 Bomber
Had a B17 fly over my house yesterday

Glad you got to see the B-17 in the air. I logged many hours in the B-17 during WWII and still enjoy seeing them. They were a work horse for the 8th Air Force. Hope they have one at our Air Show this year.

That would be a sight to see.....i guess it doesn't get close to flying in one though....
For me just seeing one is sufficient. I don't think I could crawl in one any moreThat would be a sight to see.....i guess it doesn't get close to flying in one though....

I assume you are reffering to the Wings of the North show at Flying Cloud. Haven't been to that one in a few years now. Have you ever been out the the Fagens Fighters Museum out in Granite Falls? Great museum, and this coming Fathers day Weekend (Saturday only) is their airshow. Have only been to one of their show, but it was awesome. In fact I may drive out there this weekend just to peak around, I hear they just picked up a Hellcat.
Wings of the North show is July 14-15 this year. They didn't have a B-17 last year so I didn't go. Have never been out to Granite Falls. At my rather senior age it is a challenge to go to any of the shows but am determined to make Wings if they have a B-17. Have a great day at Fagens Fighters
Very cool!
