This is a bad day, but a good day,
I just got word that my wifes sisters father in law had a stroke.
He is a old WW2 pilot, my father in law is a WW2 pilot also,myself I flew for money.
I find irony and greatness, The Liberty Belle went down today and so did Poppy, both will be greatly missed.

They are using some of these remaining planes to provide “Vet Flights” for WWII veterans. My father was privileged to go on one last year and it was quite a thrill for him. He is 92 years old. He wasn’t a pilot in the war, but did get shipped to England in a B17.
At takeoff, they sound just like they did in the movies...sent chills down my back.

A B-17 bomber that dates to World War II The Liberty Belle crashed and burned in a cornfield outside Chicago... Looks like an omen.

Our oldest Daughter & SIL took the grandkids to the air (plane) show where this B-17 previously was, and thank goodness, SHE'S GOT PICS of all the old War Birds that were there.
Now she's GOT to email those of burn a CD for me. Or post them through Yahoo or somewhere else.
