I really must give your Sony a grade of A+. I can't believe how sharp these images are. I should consider switching to Elements as I am paying all this $$ for the subscription version of Lr / Ps. I use it only once in a while.

Had opportunity to fly her with my two brothers about 10 years ago. It’ll be hard to top that experience.

I flew on Aluminum Overcast last year when I went to Oshkosh. We were bussed out to Appleton where we did the orientation and then flew for about 20 or 25 min past Oshkosh to Fond Du Lac and back. It was quieter than I expected, but then they were only running the 1,000 HP engines at a fraction of their power. It was really neat to fly on a piece of (almost) history - it was built too late to see action in the war. The tickets were almost sold out several weeks before the show. I got one of the last flights of the week.

Thanks for letting everyone know your information Frank. I have photographed the "Texas Raider", those photos can be seen here:https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-550983-1.html. I've been to that Airport in Olathe a few times having worked in Ottawa Ks some 25 years. Also the headquarters for Garmin. I love the whole Kansas City area and my daughter still lives there. Hope you get to see the B-17. They are impressive to see in person.

Great set of photos. I got to fly on a B24 a couple of years ago. As a kid I lived less than a mile from
where they built so many of those planes known as Liberators. They called our little town Liberator Village
then. I was so excited about flying in that plane that I did not get very many good photos. Next time it
comes through town I want to try that again.

Thanks Phil, I appreciate your comments. Been listening to WLW Cincinnati AM radio 700 late at night when I can't sleep. Listening to all the truckers call in on the America's Trucking Network show. The show can be comical sometimes. Plus, coming out of Cincinnati, it reminds me of our trip to Dayton last year. Sure was a grand trip and I'm so honored we got to meet. You take care yourself as well my friend.
