Here are some photos from the B-17 flight. The man at the waist gunner window was a Tuskegee Airman. The flight was a funeral flyover for one of his fellow airmen. I later made friends with the deceased's son on the internet. He is a fellow pilot/photographer and also a filmmaker. Pretty interesting guy.

Yes we have met some of the Tuskogee Airmen over the years I think they are thinning out.that last movie Red Tail Wasa excellent depiction of their story.there has been a few on WWII Bombers the last few years.

Thinning out: anyone who was 21 in 1945 is going to be 90 this year.

Ahh... a cool lesson on how the ignore list may influence a thread. I asked for such things in a special thread last week.
