About 8 years ago, the B-17 used in the “Memphis Belle” movie flew directly over my house at low altitude.

Coolest thing ever.

I had a B-17 fly right over my house at about 500-1000 feet a few years back...I was working in my backyard, and heard that sound, and began looking around and there it was...

All aviation nuts know the sound of those large reciprocating engines...especially when there are more than one!

I think it may have been flying to Hanscom AFB...I am right in the flight path!
