Restored B-17 Flying video

[C. Massey]

I tried to give Jay first dibs on this video, but apparently he doesn't want
it.

It's a fully restored B-17 and the video (shot about 1 week ago) shows the
engines starting, takeoff, flying and the landing. It's 56 meg and almost 14
minutes long. Pretty cool video.

The B-17 is house at a museum at Meacham Field (KTFW) in Ft. Worth. Their
webpage is http://www.vintageflyingmuseum.org

Hope that you enjoy the video...

Fun video. I wish the filmaker could have gotten up to the top turret.

Meacham Field (KTFW) is where that Airport Hotel is for sale. I was looking
for it in the video.

If you look SW at the intersection on Ross Ave and Falcon Way, that is where
the B-17 is hangered at the museum.

There is a funny part when the camera person, in the bombardier's seat in
the B-17's nose, slowly zooms in on a river bridge. I laughed.

If we take up a collection, can we get that to fly over Skylune's house at 50'?

I've received a BUNCH of new videos lately, though. I may have just missed

56 megabytes? Man, Jav has told me that we've got unlimited server space,
but *that* might push even him over the edge!

Great video! I just wished it had more views from around inside the plane
besides from behind the nose gunner seat. Is that a B-17H?

My father and I took a ride on Collin's B-17 a couple years ago when it was
up at ANE. It was the first time in over 55 years my dad had flown in a B-17
(www.100thbg.org). I have a video of that great experience but haven't
converted it to play on a computer yet.

It could be edited down from 14 minutes to about 4 or 5 minutes.

It is a G model. I believe the top turret is missing on this model. More

Sorry... didn't realize that you get that many emails. Yeah, I sent it Oct
30th. and figured that it would be a nice addition to your video page.

Like someone had suggested, it could be edited quite a bit. I don't know if
you would need to get in touch with the film maker on that or not. Not quite
sure how the copyright laws work. If so, I could probably get you in touch
with him.

Also, ya'll probably saw this link already, but I just saw it a day or two
ago. Aerobatic maneuvers from inside and outside of the aircraft. It's
pretty cool too. Not sure it there is sound because my I moved my pc and
haven't hooked my speakers back up yet.

I'd be glad to host a "lite" version of it!

Although this group's own Jav Henderson has never complained about me
sending gigantic files (he kindly provides free hosting services for our
website), I hesitate when it's a file that's bigger than my first computer's
hard drive -- by a factor of two!

I can't say that file is double the HD of my first PC. I had the 40 meg HD
that "you will never fill up"... haha. What a joke! Don't know how many
times I had to delete files for more space.

Paid $2200 way back when for a 286-12mhz, upgraded to 1 meg ram, 40 meg Hd,
VGA monitor and a 9 pin printer. Not even a modem or a mouse!

Ok, thanks! Missing top turret? It looks like it's there... From the video
it didn't show the whole plane. Great pictures of 8 B-17's (and others) on

Top turret looks like it's there in the first 30 seconds of the video. What
isn't there is a small navigation(?) dome between the windscreen and the
nose.

Yeah... that's what I was thinking about. I knew there was something missing
up there! Trying to go off of my memory, which is a very dangerous thing to
do, especially right now! I am in the middle of replacing the flooring in my
house, and not thinking straight.

Sorry...

Sounds great. I don't know why, but I have always loved the B-17 as well as
the DC-3's.

Maybe my love for the DC-3's is because that is one of the first planes that
I ever rode in. From Texas to Maraciabo, Venezuela about a dozen times back
in the mid 60's.

Not so. All models of the B-17 that saw combat (flew bombing
missions) had top turrets. The one in the film has one too. Am I
missing something here?

Bwa-ha-haaa!

My first computer had NO hard drive (an Atari ST). My first PC has a
whopping 20 meg drive, which seemed IMMENSE at the time....

Then, in 1988-ish, I paid $3800 for a Compaq 386-SX, which we networked
(!) to two other computers in our office. Man, we were CUTTING EDGE.

I think my current watch has more computing power than that PC did...

Mine was a TRS-80 with 4K of RAM, 4K of ROM, cassette tape and monitor circa
1978. Upgrading it to 16K RAM got me a few good years out of it before it
was obsolete. I then did the Commodore 64 and a 128-D and ran a BBS back in
the 80's on them with floppy drives.

I'm sure glad airplanes don't go 'obsolete' as fast. My '46 Ercoupe works
fine for me...

It obviously has the exterior glass part, but there's a rotating cylindrical
metal stand for the gunner inside the plane which is part of a functioning
turret. Perhaps that's what's missing? If so, you'd need a small ladder to get
your head up into the dome.

The ball turrets also had lots of hardware inside the plane. Some restorers
remove this stuff to make it easy for people to traverse the plane. It was
pretty cramped inside a fully functional B-17. Without the interior hardware,
the turrets can't rotate.

I happen to be a "bit" of a woodworker, as a matter of fact! It is my day
job, and hobby. I hope to build a wood airplane, one of these days.

Go with carbide bits, with almost no exceptions.

The ball bearing bits, to guide on the wood are really great. Find some
straight bits with the ball bearing on the top side of the cutter, too.
They are hard to find, sometimes. You use them where you cut a pattern and
fasten it to the wood, and then the bearing goes around guiding off of the
pattern, merrily cutting the pattern into the wood. Fasten a good
straight-edge to a board, and you can trim your way into a perfectly
straight board.

Routers are an incredible tool. There are lots of magazines, articles and
books on using them to do all sorts of things you have never even thought
of!

Nothing like the outer banks. Some of the nicest beaches in the world.
Good family fun. I go to Ocean Isle Beache a couple times a year with the
whole extended family. I play with a little RC plane, flown right off the
sand. They lay in the sun, I play in the sun. (in the air) <g>

If I am remembering correctly off the top of my head, the original
shuttle computers were basically 5 Apple II's networked. That is,
it was the same CPU anyway, 6502's.

They've since been upgraded. I think they have "486's" now.

Space computers are always lagging behind our desktops. It's not
easy space certifying electronics. Cosmic rays play havoc on
microchips, especially RAM.

In one specific instance the Russians allowed an American to bring
up some store bought laptops to the ISS, to which NASA was not happy.
Thos elaptops were used for a special project.

I dabble with ray traced computer graphics using the program POVRay.
<http://www.povray.org>.

There is one image in the Hall of Fame that was rendered on those
laptops on the ISS: <http://www.povray.org/community/hof/16b.php>

Yes, about 2 or 3 posts below in this thread where my mistake was clarified
and I admitted to my mistake...

[Flyingmonk]

TRS-80, I remember those. We called them Trash-80. ;<)

We are old aren't we? None of my kids nor their friends know what
these things are.

When I met my wife, I had one 'o them mobile phones, you know, the
one's that had a car battery pack underneath? and had a standby time of
two hours and fifteen minute talk time? It was the in thing to have,
weighted in at ten pounds?

Hey -- that was the cutting edge in portability! Mine was bolted to the
floor of my van.

Of course, in their defense, those early mobile phones had MUCH better audio
quality than the junk we have today. Sure, they're now very portable and
handy, but half the time people sound like their under water...

Sounds like you need a digital phone Jay. The anologue (spell) are bad

all. I have no problems w/ mine, never any statics.

Just the opposite, IMHO. I've had three (?) digital phones now, since
everything "went digital" and -- although they've improved as more and more
towers are installed -- they are still junk, compared to the old analog
phones.

With analog phones, as you got farther from a transmitter, the signal would
get crackly and weak -- but would still be understandable -- before
ultimately dying. With digital cell phones, they get
warbly/garbled/under-water with ANY kind of interference. Have a truck
drive between you and the transmitter, and all you will hear is garble.
The sound quality standards are simply much lower than they were with analog
phones.

With the prevalence of cell phones, it's become a real problem for us at the
hotel. We're constantly asking people to "Say again?" as the guest's phones
wow in and out while they're trying to make reservations...

Sounds like it is a real problem for you. Is it the guests' phones
that is loosing quality or your own phones? I'd suggest that you call
your service provider and request that they ramp-up the wattage at the
tower near your hotel. I complained initially several years ago about
reception at my house and they sent a scout car out to my house that
had all kinds of equipment and antennaes in/on it. THey said that they
just needed to up the wattage in the tower near my house and that did
the trick. This was Sprint several years back, I now use Nextel. They
merged with Sprint recently BTW.

It's the guest's phones. (Our hotel phone system is an
ancient-but-top-quality Mitel system -- a French brand, ironically enough...
:-)

Well, we don't actually take very many reservation calls from people *near*
the hotel.

It's pretty much a nationwide thing, with everyone dumping their land-line
phones in favor of the conveniently portable cell phones. Their sound
quality just sucks, compared to land-lines and the old analog phones.

That's modern DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY! It's for the NEW MILLENIUM!!!!

Did you hear about the new imaging system that will soon replace
megapixel cameras? It uses molecular technology rather than an old
fashioned digital imager. One of the advantages is that one can upgrade
their imager easily when better technology comes along.

The system uses a chemical imaging ribbon with incredible resolution.
It is said that the ordinary ribbons being made now are already the
equivalent of twenty or thirty megapixels, and the imagers are much more
sensitive and responsive to light than present day digital image chips.
Consumer imaging ribbons are limited to a little under 40 images per
ribbon, but there are cameras, generally used by pros, which can hold up
to a thousand super-high resolution images.

Cameras designed for video can use the same ribbon, and can get up to
sixteen thousand medium resolution images ("medium" being something like
five megapixel equivalent).

I tell you, technology moves fast!
