Come visit former WW2 airfields in Montana, USA, now heritage-listed, where Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber crews undertook their final training in navigation, bombing & gunnery, including use of the top-secret Norden bombsite. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.

I guess they needed big sky for those big planes.

We used to have an aerobatic contest in Cut Bank for a few years. There is a small one room museum in the terminal. I donated a couple B-17 cockpit windows to them.

They still do bombing there…. Kinda.

Every year there is a bowling ball drop contest. In the middle of the field is a white 1970's Olds Cutlass (if memory serves me correctly). Last time I was there it had been parked as a target for about a decade…. Without a single dent.

Sounds like a great parking spot. I'm from New York.

It's still there, but it seems a few hits were made since my last visit. Or someone stole the hood....
