Here are a few pictures I took of them last year when they came to Cape May. Nothing spectacular, but for my first "real" camera I think some of them came out pretty good. Of course it doesn't hurt to have some of the most beautiful man made objects ever made to photograph. My dad has a lifetime membership to the Cape May Aviation Museum so I spend a few days there every year with him. It's great little place and there's nothing like hearing those bombers and the P51 fly over our house down there all weekend. It's my favorite weekend to be down the shore.

2 yrs ago my wife got me and my son(10 at the time ) a ride on a b-17 yankee lady at the reading ww11 air show. All I can say was wow and our boys back in the day had balls made of brass.

You wont be disapointed. The thing I couldnt get over is how load and windy it was inside the plane. and how cold it must of been at 30k ft. the guy told us it got down to -30 in the ball turret
