Very cool! Same B-17 and B-24 that were buzzing my house at 1000 ft. just
prior to the Memorial day weekend. I don't know how many trips I made to
the front and back yard when I heard that wonderful growl of multiple radial
engines.

I had a nice surprise last year when (unknown to me) they were at my home
airport after I'd come back from an overnight xc flight. I go to enter the
pattern and turning from the 45 for a left downwind, I notice both planes on
the ramp. Not something you see every day. Of course, I just had to hang
around the airport after I gassed up the plane and tied it down.

Glad you got to peek out form under the hood and catch the action.
