J_Thompson Posted May 15, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 15, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) A WWII Boeing B-17 bomber, owned by the Collings Foundation, during a display at the Burbank, California airport (formerly Lockheed Air Terminal). This particular example was built in Long Beach by Douglas Aircraft in the spring of 1945, but never saw combat. They offer 30 minute rides for a $420 tax-deductable donation.

pauledell Posted May 16, 2009 Share #2 Posted May 16, 2009 John, A very dramatic shot with great colors, sharpness and composition. I bet this would bring back memories for the few airmen left who flew in them during WWII. Great history. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
