If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

Beautiful image. Enviable hobby.
Wear impressive ear protection, though. Those props aren't very far from your ears.
Catch a ride $500. Learn to fly right seat $5000. If I could get them to fly over Rushbo's house and let me use that Norden to drop a couple of 500 lb bombs on him. Priceless.
Was a passenger in a B17 stunned at how small it was, and it was a giant in it's time...
I bet the B-25 was a helluva lot more fun!@
A decent computer, a good imagination and IL-2 Sturmovik goes a long way towards sating my warbird lust.

Did you get to fly in Aluminum Overcast?
Was a great B17 ride (1999) and yes it was pretty small. It was not as noisy as I expected and the view from the bombardier seat was spectacular. The Norden was still in place. I don't see how anyone could have bombed with any accuracy with that thing. I couldn't focus on anything and the ride was almost glass smooth. But it certainly was not in perfect or even normal condition either.
There are at least 2, probably 4 B-25's in the area as CAF toys. Getting close to one would be quite the political project, so I'm not real tempted by a $5k SIC. Just a little tempted.
