But I need a host; photobucket won't do these pictures justice. I had a Nikon D100 with a wideangle lense and my dad a D200 with a fisheye lense. What a great, once in a lifetime experience.
Transferring them to Fieroloki now; they're big files so watch out lol. |
|
It wasn't "Texas Raiders", was it? I've been aboard that one years ago. Looking forward to the pics, sorry but I don't know how to help you host them.
|
|
No this was "Nine O Nine". It was pretty sweet. They had a B24 and B25 there as well.
|
|
Were they returning from a bombing run directed at the illegal immigrant support marches down your way?
|
|
Anybody want to call the CAF? |
|
|
I wish... |

They were giving rides, at $425 a piece, from Mineral Wells to DLF, to raise money for the Museum thats at DLF now.
If those bomb bay doors still work....hmmmm..................tannerite bombs? |

|
That's gonna be a huge ass email, do you have AIM? |
|
|
Was it on Aluminum Overcast? I had a flight on that B-17 just before 9/11. Worth every penny of the ~$400 I paid.

I took a bunch of pictures of these planes at Mineral Wells on Wednesday. Just need to get my film developed.
|

I was going to "ride" that one last October, but backed out due to weather. I'm going this year, I don't care it went up 25 bucks, it's worth it. These magnificent machines won't be flying much longer. |
|
|
Ya it was perfect weather today for it here in Dallas. Definetly reccomend it. |

I would love to ride in the ball turret!!!! Too bad I can't afford it.
|
|
I flew in the "Aluminum Overcast" a few years ago. It was one hell of a ride!! The missus bought me the ride.
|
|
Ya couldn't get there or the aft gun placement either. |

Where was this? I saw a B17 this afternoon flying back and forth over the range this afternoon.

Out of Love Field, went up to Lake Lewisville and back I think. One big loop. What range were you at? |

Wow, really nice. Flying on a B-17 is on my list of things to do before I die.
Thanks for sharing. |
