A very beautiful lady!

Just returned from the airfield where I met one of the most beautiful ladies I have ever had the opportunity to see.

More videos to follow - it was a great day!

Those are small planes. I'm used to the bigger ones that are built at the Renton Boeing plant where I work.

Flying in a B-17! That's awesome!
I love the old WWII planes.

What did you work on?

Never said it was a big plane just beautiful...

A few pics.

Awesome pics CJ! What a great experience to get to fly in one as well!! Only thing that might top that is if they let you fire the 50's in flight

When I was in A&P school I got to see the Memphis Belle while she in restoration at the Naval air station in Memphis very cool

 

[CJ]

Thanks! The original 'Belle' is still under restoration but is now at the National Museum of the USAF at Wright-Patterson in Ohio. The B-17 I flew on is a combat plane that was repainted to look like the Belle for the movies - still was a great time!

Very cool CJ - I watched your videos on Youtube - good job! I really like planes like this but am not a fan of flying myself and would be unpleasant flying company due to motion sickness......

But very, very cool and glad you had a great day!

New video looking out the top hatch at the tail. You can see where at one point I about got my arm ripped off from the wind.

That's awesome! My grandpa fired one of those 50 cals in a B-29 in WWII. Grandpa didn't talk much about it but my dad has been able to piece together some information after he died.

Thanks for that CJ, to think bits and pieces of those things are scattered all over the world.
