The B-17 is a pretty nice airplane to fly however. Ailerons heavy as

you work it doesn't take superman....but like any t/w airplane you gotta
stay ahead of her.

Outstanding. Thanks for sharing. I'm envious; such a magnificent
airplane. It's not the most beautiful multi-engine airplane ever built I
don't know what is.
