Papootoo. Elton D. Denner This video is great and it brings back some old old memories. After flying B-29's off of Tinian we moved over to the
Phillipines and went to flying B-17's again. We were stationed at Clark Field and had auxilliary bases all over the 7000 Islands of the Phillipines.
I was with the Second Air Sea Rescue, and we were flying B-17's with a 34" boat attached to the bomb bay for open sea rescue. Great video.
What a beautiful job of restoration. And beautiful pictures also. I flew the B-17 for two years in the Phillipines while in Air Sea Rescue. Only difference was
we had a 34' boat hooked onto the bomb bay to drop for sea rescue. I'm only 94 years old and would love to fly this baby one more time. Elton Denner
Great Job. These are great pictures of a great Airplane. I flew a B-17 for two years in Air Sea Rescue. Only difference is we had a 34 Foot boat attached to
the bomb bay, with three 99' parachutes to drop it for rescue purposes. I'm only 94 years old and would love to fly that thing again. Elton Denner
My Wife and I just recently became Retarded. So far I have not found any problems with that. In fact, rather than calling it Retarded,
I am calling myself Resarted. Fun eh
