Last Sunday the B-17 used in the movie "Memphis Belle" was in Denver. As luck would have it that evening the movie was on TV. Thought I'd post some pics of that airplane and a few others. And invite anyone to share there own pics of warbirds.

Memphis Belle start up. Worth it just for the sound.


A few years back I took a ride in Aluminum Overcast

War Birds fly by! Valle,Az

Nice!

I still miss Baa Baa Black Sheep.  Pappy and I watched every episode without fail (no, not Pappy Boyington  )

Riding in one of those is on my bucket list.

Me too! Kind of corny at times but I still loved if for nothing else but the flying scenes.

Well worth the $450. Riding in a P-51 is still on my list.

I want to ride in a B-36 but somehow I think that's not going to happen.

I took a bunch of pics with a panoramic app on my phone at the Air Force Museum while I was out in Dayton.  I'll have to get them uploaded and post them.

Here's a pic of my 1945 jeep in front of a B-17-

Maybe somebody like Bill Gates could pull it off but even then probably not.

Nice pic, they really go together!

If I ever get the cash burning a hole in my pocket (and the tax man doesn't know I have it) I am definitely going to the local CAF squadron and booking a ride in their B-25 J Mitchell, "Sho Me".
Been wanting to do it for years.

MeTV has been airing 12 O'Clock High tv series episodes at 3 in the morning in my area (which follow the 'story' of the 918th Bomb group).  Standard Hollywood script hooks aside, it's a pretty cool bit of nostalgia to watch.

Here's a few from the Air Force Museum in Dayton.

My father was a top turet gunner and flight engineer on a B-17, credited with 27 missions. Grew up hearing all the great stories.

I thought I posted one of his missions he wrote about here, but can't seem to find the thread. Maybe it was before the forum crash.
