Obviously you can tell how much I must like airplanes. Car guys and airplanes just seem to go hand in hand. These pilots are perhaps some of the luckiest ones around. They are actually flying a plane of history. Sitting in the seats where other pilots once sat and who had to risk their lives in order for us to live the lives we have today.
This maybe just another machine. A machine of war perhaps. There's no romance in war. War is a demonstration of the failure of mankind. But this posting is not to go into a debate over this. Just watching this plane, a B-17, and knowing that a similar B-17 plays a small part in my own family history... one just can't help to have a feeling that this machine should be respected and honored.
