Restored B-17 Flying video

I tried to give Jay first dibs on this video, but apparently he doesn't want
it.

It's a fully restored B-17 and the video (shot about 1 week ago) shows the
engines starting, takeoff, flying and the landing. It's 56 meg and almost 14
minutes long. Pretty cool video.

The B-17 is house at a museum at Meacham Field (KTFW) in Ft. Worth. Their
webpage is http://www.vintageflyingmuseum.org

Hope that you enjoy the video...

Fun video. I wish the filmaker could have gotten up to the top turret.

Meacham Field (KTFW) is where that Airport Hotel is for sale. I was looking
for it in the video.

If you look SW at the intersection on Ross Ave and Falcon Way, that is where
the B-17 is hangered at the museum.

There is a funny part when the camera person, in the bombardier's seat in
the B-17's nose, slowly zooms in on a river bridge. I laughed.

If we take up a collection, can we get that to fly over Skylune's house at 50'?

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

want it.

You did? Sorry, I must not have received your dib...

I've received a BUNCH of new videos lately, though. I may have just missed
yours. (I get between 50 and 75 emails per DAY nowadays...)

56 megabytes? Man, Jav has told me that we've got unlimited server space,
but *that* might push even him over the edge!

Great video! I just wished it had more views from around inside the plane
besides from behind the nose gunner seat. Is that a B-17H?

My father and I took a ride on Collin's B-17 a couple years ago when it was
up at ANE. It was the first time in over 55 years my dad had flown in a B-17
(www.100thbg.org). I have a video of that great experience but haven't
converted it to play on a computer yet.

It could be edited down from 14 minutes to about 4 or 5 minutes.
