Me in the nose of a B-17 - a gift for helping with Special Olympics Plane Pull fund-raiser.

Tom, I am completely jealous. I'm glad you had the experience though.

Scrape,
I'll try and post my B-17 photos somewhere. Wow, what a ride. That plane practically floats off the runway. It wants to fly like no other aircraft I've ever flown in. The pilots actually seemed to have trouble setting her back down again on the runway. She wanted to just keep floating along. We had people at the air show lay their hands on the plane and just weep (daughters, granddaughters, wifes and sons of the men who flew them). It was amazing.
Tom

Nice. I've always wanted to ride in the nose of B-17. I've been in the nose of a B-29 and B-36, much larger than a B-17.

There's nothing like flying in on of those bad boys with the windows open at 2,000 feet. Woweee, zowee!
