Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress (N9323Z)

Awesome photo William....

Great Pic William !!

What a classic metal airframe! Count the rivets...

With the exception of the fabric covered primary control surfaces, per the DC3.

The flying fortress in the garage

"Sentimenal Journey", owned by the CAF. Proud to say I took a demo flight in it in 2006, when it came here. Started in the gunners' area on T/O, and ended up in the Bombardier's seat when it landed. Never been so thrilled/terrified in my life. The cat-walk in the bombbay going from the radio op's to the cockpit was scarcely 6in. wide. And I couldn't concieve of 18 y/o kids flying to war in that thing, protected only by a very thin aluminum skin.
