Rumbling out onto the airfield is one of the greatest heavy bombers of all time, the B-17 Flying Fortress. This here is the G variant, having served her faithful days in WW2, carrying bomb loads deep into the European theaters. Her four Wright R-1820-97 "Cyclone" turbosupercharged radial engines power up, B-17G speaks, remembering her past.

The skies were filled with B-17's when I was flown. Oh, how I survived so many encounters with those German fighters, those were the days.
