Finally achieved the long planned for and much wanted visit to the B-17
Bomber Cafe in Portland.

weather was typical of most of the trip but the meal was excellent.

It looks as if the nose section is missing. I visited the service
station back in 1961 and crawled inside the plane. It was all there,
but, IIRC, the cockpit had been stripped.

Was curious as I live not far from there and at one time it was pretty well
stripped out. Guess I should drive over and take a look see.
