Default Unusual Traffic

After an ILS to 04 at KSCH the other day, we broke out into decent VFR,
so I asked for some closed pattern work. On downwind, they asked us to
hold 360 degrees "Traffic is a Boeing B-17, your twelve o'clock, two
miles . . ." Then "Number two, behind the Boeing . . ." I followed him in
from left base and watched him land, did a go-around just to fly over and
get a look at him, coasting lazily across the ramp. A couple of patterns
later he was lined up for takeoff again, and I got a full base-leg view
of him lumbering off runway 22. How many times have I told myself you
should always have a digital point-and-shoot in your flight bag . . .
