Happy Birthday to B17 Flying Fortress, great old lady and utter respect to those who flew her during the war.

When we were at the American Cemetary in Normandy, France. They played Taps and we stopped walking and then a large WW2 plane flew overhead. I wonder if it was one of these?
Great shots of an iconic aircraft indeed!

Very nice. Love seeing those old planes fly.
She's a beauty! I love those old warbirds, especially the B-17's. I've had 2 occasions to see Sentimental Journey up close at air shows. The Belle is being restored here at Wright-Patterson AFB in the museum of the Air Force. Thanks for the photos.
Very good captures Richard.
Great shots. I love the B_17 as well. Cheers.
When I was in the RAF flying Lincoln bombers, and those before me flying Lancasters. We had a little song about the B-17......."Lots of amunition and a teeny-weeny bomb"!
Great aircraft, despite it's small bomb load though.
Grate shots! Love seeing those old planes fly.

Wonderful shots, rjallen!

They are all good but the second one is great. Several years ago my kids bought me a ride in a B17. Not cheap but worth every penny. Do it--you'll love it. They allow you to walk around inside the plane after take off so bring plenty of batteries and extra memory cards.
Good work on you pix.
