Default Sunset flight in a B-17

Thanks for sharing this!

I have saved it for at least a few reads in the future, with your
permission..

Where is the hanky..

.....I would drop a lot more than a few hundred bucks for this ride!

Woudda grabbed a ride in "Crazy Horse" 3 weeks ago if they (all THREE
Mustangs) were not booked solid for 4 weeks, at $2900 US per ride!

Next trip I will plan better...

Over the past few years I've read posts by others about their
experiences in vintage aircraft and now it's my turn to share. My story
begins last Thursday; I was doing laundry and heard the unmistakable
sound of four big radials approaching. I was out the back door in a
flash shouting for my wife to come see, hurry... Maggie the dog joined
in the excitement thinking no doubt I'd spotted the biggest squirrel
ever. There overhead, rumbling sedately along at about 1000' was a
gorgeous B-17!
