Flying Fortress (B 17)

 The wife and I were out birding this weekend 22 miles from the nearest large airport and I hear that unmistakeable sound of four props coming at us. Very cool to see.

That's one beautiful plane, where  were you at?

[Dmanmastertracker]

 Near Black Diamond. It came from the Renton-valley direction, probably around for an air show.

Cool picture.  That's a sight that made a lot of hearts pound, for good... and bad many years ago.

Looks like the guns are present.  I wonder if they are replicas or the real deal.

One of those comes to Spokane every year and flies around for a week or so. Very impressive but imagine 2000 of them going over head. I had a customer who was a child in germany during the war and she said the sky was black with them almost daily flying over her villiage on the way to the targets.

Not many of that generation left.   UNREAL

[Dmanmastertracker]

 Looks familiar...
