New mission for 'Flying Fortress'

It's not difficult to lose yourself to history while flying aboard a
B-17 bomber.

As the World War II-era plane taxis down a runway at Ellington Field,
the "Flying Fortress" lurches like a rickety old school bus. Once
airborne, thoughts turn to what the 10-member crews of such planes
endured over the skies........
