But lighter over all, I think . I know a few guys who flew them up into
the
late '70s. It was not highly thought of.


You don't know ****, you're just attempting to troll.




It's pretty obvious to everyone but you when I'm trolling. that's what
makes me the best, Okie boi.

The B-17 is a pretty nice airplane to fly however. Ailerons heavy as
heck, rudder not so bad, elevator pretty light. I've flown one in
xwinds up to 40 knots (only about 30 degrees cross) and while it makes
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.

I'd apply the "most beautiful" sobriquet to the Lockheed Connie, flawed
Wright Cyclones and all.

Fascinating. Similar to Bertie's Albatross vote.

I saw a Connie and a B-17 together at Nellis one time. Definately
beautiful. I'd also nominate the P-38.

For singles, probably the Spitfire.
