Too bad. I always run outside when I hear those vintage engines flying overhead.

Concur. I love those planes.

I got to fly in an Israeli-badged B-17 probably 25 years ago as a passenger. (Long story, but several B-17s were transferred to Israel on a very circuitous route not long after WWII.)

Lot of fun.

I visited the Museum of The Mighty Eighth Air Force in Pooler Georgia last Saturday.

The museum has a highly polished B-17 on display. The exhibit contains engine cut aways as well as turrets with the guns.

An airman who is 102 made a short entrance pointing to a map with the locations of his 25 missions.

They have no B-24 because there simply are none existent.

The museum is right o I 95 and is worth a visit.
