                        More B-17's!!!  Keep 'em coming! 

                        I have a friend who's grandfather is a veteran 8th AAF B-17 waist gunner.  He still has nightmares that he's in the ship, spiraling earthward and pinned against the inner fuselage--unable to pull himself free to bail out. 

                        What a gem of wisdom we have in our surviving veterans.  Take advantage of it while you still can.

                        How did the B-17 become the public’s beloved favorite and the B-24 a respected runner-up?

                        http://www.afa.org/magazine/Oct2006/1006bomber.asp

                        The world’s first operational stealth aircraft, the F-117, is nearing the end of an amazing career.

                        Paced by USAF’s 20th Fighter Wing, US and NATO airmen and ground forces and more than 100 aircraft staged a full-scale “invasion” of North Carolina.
