The Experimental Aviation Association is sponsoring the nationwide tour of "Fuddy Duddy", a B-17G from the WWII Pacific theater. Took a flight today from Hayward up to Treasure Island and back - what a trip! It may be coming to an airport near you - check out: http://www.b17.org.

wow!!! too cool!!
a few weeks, ago a B-17 and a and a B-25 barn stormed into town. rides in the B-17 were $350 for 30 min., wish i could have gone but couldn't afford it. got to climb through it though. i've got a lot of reverence for those planes, a lot of brave men died in those things. my dad was a P-47 pilot and a flight instructer and has many flight hours in both the B-17 and the B-25, love hearing his stories. BTW, there is a big air show at planes of fame in chino this weekend. wish i could go. |
