They had a B-17 with a bunch of guys in it that had flown during
WW-II and since we had disconnected from the group we had time to sit
and chat with them while they waited for the next tour group to march
through.

I did my primary training next to that museum. It was intimidating to
be a student pilot doing touch and gos in front of their grandstand on
show weekends with all the old-timers hanging out watching.

All the old timers had been there!
