Default What a sight...and what a sound

We had the EAA B-17 on our field all weekend, with perfect weather (high
70's, no clouds, and no humidity). They gave over 400 rides, and had
between 6 and 7,000 tours of the plane- a great turnout.

All of the other volunteers were great, thanking people for coming and
when they left, helping people into and out of the plane, etc.



Hey, that'll be me! g
