Sunday we went to see a real B-17 bomber. It was a very awesome experience. The aircraft "Sentimental Journey" was parked out at Mt. Vernon airport. It was built in 1944 but didn't see any action in WWII, it saw some air-sea rescue service after the war. Later in 1978 it was donated to the Commemorative Air Force for assignment to the Arizona Wing. It was then disassembled and painstakingly restored to original World War II configuration. I have some more photos at the bottom of the page so please enjoy.
