  4. Believe me,thats money well spent! my brother and i took a "hop" in a B-17 at an airshow in Jersey about 10 years ago,what a thrill! i even got to sit in the co-pilots seat, i'll always remember the captains' remark to me when asked what it was like to fly a "fortress" he said,"Well son,it's kinda like flying a MACK TRUCK!" a great experience for sure! something you'll always remember!....................................Mark
  5. Thanks for posting that picture Mike! the B-17 is my favorite WWII aircraft,my maternal grandfather was a right-door waist gunner on a "fortress" tough ol' bastard he was! shot down 3 times over Germany,he AND the whole crew lived to tell about it all 3 times!..................Mark
  6. Saw a photo in a newspaper out west a few years back,it was a logging truck (loaded) and the story was about the the plight of the local logging industry anyway,the driver of the truck had put a sign on one of the logs that read "spotted owl mobile home in transit" seems it offended some of the local "treehuggers" that evidently have no families to suport,or no need to work for a living!..................Mark
