wife just called, teary eyed

....wasn't anything bad. She's managing a golf tournament almost directly
under the final approach at Aurora in Oregon.

She called a little while ago all teary-voiced in excitement because a
certain B-24 just roared over her head. While she was on the phone, a B-25
passed over. Apparently she annoyed some golfers by letting out a yell.

Called back a few minutes ago to say that Nine-O-Nine was flying around the
pattern. I could just barely make out the distinct, slow drone in the the
background.

Also, apparently, some of the golfers are ****ed off at the noise and
distraction. BOMBS AWAAAAAAAAY!!!

Until they decide to deal with pesky pilots.

Very, very cool and equally rare!

I rode in Nine-O-Nine on 17 June 1993 as a college graduation present.
Went with my grandfather. It was the first time he'd flown in a B-17 since
getting shot down over Schweinfurt. They feathered the prop, etc and when
I pointed out to him he just looked at me and grinned. We sat in those
nose together by ourselves for what seems like longer than it actually was.
I don't remember ever seeing him smile so much.

After the ride, he and the pilot exchanged autographs. He told the pilot
that one thing he remembered about B-17s is that no two ever sounded or
smelled the same. To this day, however, I can hear and smell Nine-O-Nine as
if it was yesterday.

WTH is she texting?! I swear to God Almighty that if I'm ever flying S.I.C
in a Liberator, I'll have plenty of better things to do that test message on
a cell phone.

Yeesh. HANG UP AND FLY!!!!
