7:00 AM B-17 to Augusta

So there I was, coding X-Plane and Xavion same as always when I learned that a B-17 was touring the SouthEast and stopping into my local airport to give rides!

Their next stop was Augusta GA, so with a little favor-trading I got to ride along to the next stop!

More than a little fun to tell my wife: “Hey I’m going out to the airport to run the 7:00 AM B-17 out to Augusta… I’ll see you when I see you!” and run out the door with nothing but a credit card, a blind faith in being able to find rental cars anywhere, and a B-17 waiting at the airport to run me to the next stop! BOYS DAY OUT!!!!

Pics below:

Four mighty engines all pulling us along together! You can do your part to by buying War Bond, and rationing for the war effort!

Tracking our path to the Eastern Front: Don’t let that bomb-site fall into enemy hands, Meyer!

What? No uniforms? I’m sure the Colonel will have a few words for these two when they land!
