I forgot my wide angle lens for the walk through... Hopefully you guys still enjoy the video. It was an amazing plane to see in person!
I've seen S.J. for several decades at local air shows. They had a ball turret on display long ago so folks could get a look at it. Dad was a ball turret gunner over Europe. 8th AF. 487 bg, 839 bs. Based near Lavenham. He got confirmed damage to an ME262.
Bloody beautiful B17, Plus GREAT sound starting up and running. Well done guys to all that helped in restoring this old girl to glory again. Cheers Teddy
I have always thought the B 17 Flying Fortress' were beautiful airplanes. They have such beautiful lines, and this one is gorgeous !!! Oh yeah, I never get tired of the sound of those four radials firing up.
The B-17 Flying Fortresses, were a great strength in the arial fight against our enemies in WWII. So powerful, strong and magnificent. Truly a force to be reckoned with. So thankful to Almighty God for the brave and courageous Airmen that helped fly them. This one is beautiful... That's flying history right there!
The B 57 flying fotress looks and sounds impressive. The sound of victory. Thanks to our WW2 veterans!
