Thank you for the correction. I have zero hours in a B-17. My memory fails on
that subject. What group did you fly with? ETO or PT?

Didn't fly 'em in the military...just did the airshow thing to impress
the chicks.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

Does a B-17 impress the chicks now days?

Did it in 1943???

Art, were you surrounded by British babes in 1944
because you were a "bomber guy"?

Always thought that sort of stuff was reserved for
the fighter jocks.

Usually just the transport catergoy chicks. G

But it's still a fun airplane to fly.

From what gather, the B-17 was -the- WWII chick magnet, especially early in
the war with pilots like Colin Kelly and movies like "Air Force" (1943).

Old joke:

Pilot: See that {pointing to Herc on the ramp}?

Spacy Babe: Yes...

Pilot: That's a C130.... *I* fly a -150....
