Just the other day, I saw an authentic, refurbished B-17 fly overhead my
house! I heard the engines beforehand and ran outdoors. I was lucky
enough to catch a brief glimpse as the aircraft flew northwards. I only
wish I had had my camera ready at hand! It was some sight to see!
Gleeming silver and four engines in the bright crystal blue sky!

Sky, who says "THANK YOU" to all "military service" personnel!
